Just don't break the chain. Kids are all about consistency in my experience. Putting the kids to sleep at 8 doesn't mean going to bed at 8pm myself. Again we keep a strict schedule. Dinner at 6, bedtime reading at 7.30, light out at 8.00. Weekends we are a little less strict yet they normally wake up at 6 anyway because they are used to it. All it requires is the same kind of prioritization and effort we put into so many other things we care about.
