DH thinks its crazy that my family regularly makes a snack to share at 10:00/10:30 at night when 2+ siblings get together, but that's what we're used to. :-) I was looking at my permanent record while I was in HS, and on my preschool intake sheet it asks about sleep patterns and my mom had written "refuses to sleep until she can at least watch Johnny Carson's monologue."

Then after that it was up to me since my parents said I would have to deal with the consequences of being tired the next day if I stay up too late. autumnlove on "What was your bed time growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-bed-time-growing-up#post-1217821 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:35:31 +0000 autumnlove 1217821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never had one that was inforced Running Elley on "What was your bed time growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-bed-time-growing-up#post-1217819 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:35:03 +0000 Running Elley 1217819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The bedtime that I can remember is 9. I think that was basically until high school ish?

Changed to 9 I think around middle school age, grade 5 or 6 maybe. As I got older, bedtime was less a time for me to go to sleep and more time for my parents to have alone time. Pretty sure that lasted 'til grade 11? Had to be in my room by 9, but didn't have to go to sleep.

In high school I had to be in my room by 10 because that was when my mom went to bed and she didn't want me in the main living areas waking her up. winniebee on "What was your bed time growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-bed-time-growing-up#post-1217730 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:12:49 +0000 winniebee 1217730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I remember having to go to bed right after "You Can't Do That On Television" on Nick. I'm guessing that was around 8? That was grade school. I don't think I had a bed time in jr. high and definitely did not in high school. My mom seems to recall I went to bed at 8 growing up, and she always says that a 7:30/8 bedtime is great for a toddler/kid.

I remember hearing from friends that had 9 pm bedtimes and thought that was super early! Now I know they were the normal ones.

Probably why I'm still a night owl. ;) Mae on "What was your bed time growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-bed-time-growing-up#post-1217708 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:07:41 +0000 Mae 1217708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Now that I'm older and know people who have kids, it seems really normal to have kids' bed times be around 7 or 8pm. Although I don't know anyone with older kids to ask what their bed times are. When I was growing up I remember meeting this girl in kindergarten whose bed time was 8pm. And I thought she had the MEANEST MOM EVER. I was like, terrified of her because I thought 8pm bed time must mean show was a horrible evil witch lol. My bed time from the time I can remember (5-6 years old) was always 9pm, although I could often talk myself into 9:30. Once I got to be probably 8-10 years old the rule was I had to be in my room by 10pm but my parents didn't care if I was actually sleeping as long as I wasn't bugging them. That then only lasted until I was probably 12 or so and my parents stopped caring when I went to bed. Through most of middle school I went to bed probably around 10 or 11, and high school was anywhere from 11 to 1. Sometimes if it was like 2am and I was still up my dad would yell down to go to bed already, but that was it. What was your bed time when you were a kid? When did it change/stop?
