Kids need a more sleep than adults, sometimes a lot more sleep. I don't think adults realize this sometimes, and kids can silently suffer as a result (and not even really understand they are suffering).
It absolutely amazes me when I see young children out and about late at night because I had a very strict early bedtime as a child - 8pm early in life, 9pm starting my tween years. It was very much to my disdain at the time, but now I strongly believe being well rested served me well in all aspects of my life.
- baron816 7y agoFalling asleep that early is unnatural and very difficult at that age. I recall many nights trying to go to sleep early and lying in bed, stressing about not being able to sleep (making it even harder to sleep).
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoI had the same regimen and don’t remember having problems with it. It wasn’t until my mid teens that I shifted to later times.
- matwood 7y agoI had the same routine and was fine. I think having a consistent sleep routine is key. What makes it unnatural? If you want to appeal to nature, how about turn off all the electricity in your house and see how late kids stay up with just a fire going.
