LO will be 2 in a few weeks. I voted 7pm but it's usually between 6:30 and 7. Usually closer to 6:45. Sometimes he falls asleep immediately, sometimes it takes a little while. I would love to have a slightly later bedtime, but he is a wreck in the evenings.

DD is 2.5, I chose 8:30 above but it is really more like 8:45pm. She's reliably up around 6:45 or 7am. (and has always been a lower sleep needs kiddo).

I am happy to see two other people voted for 10pm! It made me brace enough to post my details. I want to change our bedtime but I think it may naturally shift as he starts going to school two mornings per week and plus we have a new baby coming in November so I kind of think might as well enjoy it for now!
2.5 (plus a few months)
Shut door around 10
Wakes up btwn 730-830.
We have always been on the late side, I think it comes natural to me and my family since I work evening shift, but it got really late in the last few months! I would prefer asleep by 830-9 and wake up 730ish. I mean I love when he wakes at 830 but I doubt he would sleep that long!

5 years old. I aim to shut the door at 8, but I know she stays up reading in her bed for almost an hour each night. She usually falls asleep by 9, sometimes a little later.

@mrsbubbletea:
When I voted, I was happy to see one other person voted at 10pm, too.
We are night owls and we have an au pair at home so no need to wake them early to get them out the door. Mornings are easier for me because they are still asleep when I leave for work.
Twins are almost 2 and we usually shut the door 9:45p-10p. It all depends on their wake and nap times. Sometimes their bedtime is earlier, which is nice.
Wake time is usually after 9am, but I have my au pair wake them between 9:30-10:30a if they are still asleep.
They usually sleep 12 hours so I don't feel like it's a problem.

1.5 & 4.5 and they're in bed lately by 8ish. We don't have blackout curtains in their new room so earlier is pointless. The 4 yo likes to look at books and look out the window beyond that, and I may have caught them both jumping in bed before!

3 years old.
Shut the door at 8 pm. He doesn't fall asleep until more like 8:30 PM (he reads with a flashlight).
We wake him up at 6:30 AM.

My kiddo will be 2 in a few weeks. We do a late bedtime, it's what works for her and for our family. My husband doesn't get home til 6ish, and wants the time with her. And kiddo and I are both night owls.
We brush teeth, go potty, change into pjs and a nighttime diaper at 8. At 8:45, dad says goodnight and goes to bed. Kiddo and I read books in her room until 9ish. She turns on her nightlight and gets into bed, and I get her a sippy cup of water and a frozen teether. I then stay in her room while she falls asleep. I usually leave the room between 9:30 and 10.
We transitioned from cosleeping a couple of months ago (she decided bedtime in our room was playtime). And we're on day 5 of moving her into a toddler bed. So our bedtime routine is going through adjustments at the moment.
Kiddo wakes up between 7:45 and 8:30 most days. She sleeps through the night most nights.

DD is 2.5. We are normally shutting the door between 7:30-7:45. Some nights she is asleep in five minutes and other nights it takes an hour of talking and singing to herself. She wakes up between 6:15-7.

DS1 is almost 35 months. On the weekends at home, we aim for a 730-8pm bedtime and he wakes up at 7-730am. Nap is from 1-4. The problem is at daycare, they put the kids down for nap around noon, so he's not tired enough to sleep well and outright skips nap 2 days a week. So on weekdays, we try to get him to bed around 8pm (unless he's skipped nap, then we get him to bed at 730pm), and then try to make noise around the house around 630am so that he's roused but still in his room. (Our bathroom shares a wall with his room so we use the restroom and flush and start getting ready for work). We hope that by waking him up a little earlier, he will be able to sleep at school. Naptime at school is 12-2pm.
DS2 is almost 15 months. During the weekend, he goes to bed around 730pm and usually wakes up by 630-7am. He usually gets a cat nap around 1030am and then sleeps from 130-4pm when DS1 has his nap. During the week, he goes to be closer to 7pm and wakes up around 630am on his own. Nap at daycare for him is 1145am to whenever he wakes up, but he usually only sleeps around 90 minutes there, so he's awfully tired by the time he gets home.

DD is 17 months old.
We start bedtime at 6:30 and she's USUALLY asleep in her crib at 7:00.
It varies but she's usually awake between 6:30 and 7:00.

DD is 2 and bedtime is 8:30. She usually falls asleep between 8:45 and 9, and wakes up around 7:30. I wish bedtime were a bit earlier, but I don't think that will happen until the sun goes down earlier and/or she drops her nap. It is nice to have plenty of time to play in the evening though!

-How old are they? 2 years 4 months
-What time is bedtime (usually)? (Like shut the door and leave the room. Not the start of the bedtime routine.) Theoretically 7:30, lately more like 8
-What time do they usually wake up or when do you wake them up? Weekdays we wake her up at 6. Weekends she sleeps in until about 7:30, sometimes 8 if we're lucky.

DD is 15 months and sleeps approx 6:30pm-6am. I would totally be happy with a later bedtime and wake time, but I have to be out the door with her at 6:30am to get to daycare/work. But I get done at 4pm and hubby works from home, so we still get a decent amount of time with her. She's on 1 nap, about 2-3 hours.

Me, DH and DS (19.5months) all go to bed at the same time(we bed share) which is 8:00 to 9:30ish. DH has to be up at 4am for work and doesn't get home till 5:30-6. Me and DS are up between 7:00 -8:30

-2.5 yr old
-usually out the door at 7
-I'm home with her during the summer and this year she has blissfully been sleeping until 7:30-8. During the school year she gets woken up at 6:15 Now that I know how late she'd sleep naturally we'll try to move her bedtime to 6:30 during school year. It was 6-6:30 anyway until last spring.

21 months and 4.5. With the summer sun setting late, no matter what I do, I can't get out of my 4.5 year olds room before 8. I put the baby down and then move into the 4.5 year old with her requests which can take forever.

2.5- door closed at 7:30pm but she'll often stay up for up to an hour reading or talking to herself. Wakes up anytime between 7-8:30am.

W is 1.5 and we're usually out of his room at 7. B is 3.5 and it's more like 7:30, although he's never asleep before 8, sometimes more like 8:30. They both have to get up at 6 for daycare (and choose to get up at 6 on weekends, sigh).

DS1 will be 4 in November. He's usually asleep between 8:30-9 and wakes up around 7:30. DS2 turns 2 in a few days. He's asleep between 7:30-8 and wakes up around 7:30.

I mean, bed time is technically 8 but we have gotten bad this summer and has ended up more like lights out by 830 they both take a while to fall asleep so I'd say they are asleep by 9. In the summer they have been waking about 730-800 ish. THey are 4 and 19 months.

I think we will start settling down our 5 year old at 9pm and have him in bed by 9:30. School starts pretty late for him and it will give us time to clean up before we head to bed by 10:30. We will have a new baby soon so we will start testing out bed times next week. This will give him enough time to adjust before he starts kindergarten.

DS will be 3 in a month. The door is shut at 7:30pm and sometimes he falls asleep within a few minutes, sometimes he sings and talks to himself until 8pm. He usually wakes up around 6:15-6:30am.

18 months. 8pm-7am. It varies by about 30 minutes, give or take. But 8-7 is our sweet spot. Caregivers come over at 7:15, I leave at 7:30.

3 years old. 8pm since she was 6mo old! She wakes about 8am (we wake her if she's not already up on weekdays. On weekends sometimes she sleeps until 8:30 or so).
