My kids usually sleep around the same time in their own rooms but we are going to try room sharing in a few weeks...
LO 1 (3) is a really great sleeper and LO 2 (22 months) is less consistent and she fights bedtime a few times a week with crying and screaming.

@Mrs. Jacks: How long do you usually wait until the second kid goes in?

We put them down at the same time, but they are twins, so I think that makes a little difference. Sometimes one baby has an off night and doesn't want to go down at the same time, but the other baby has no problem sleeping through it.

@autumnlove: m goes to bed by 7:30 and C goes to bed by 8:30.

@Mrs. Jacks: ah ok! I thought it would be C that is the deep sleeper!

Sometimes we stagger but it mostly depends on if/when the baby took her last nap. I actually find little difference on nights we stagger and nights bed time is the same time. I also like not bring liked into a rigid routine for now.

@autumnlove: no, C is a horrible sleeper. If she could have her way, she'd go to bed at 10! She's such a light sleeper!

I used to stagger by putting the baby to sleep and then the older one would sneak in. But when my 3 year old dropped his nap he started needing to go to bed earlier. I try to get them to sleep at the same time, but the older one falls asleep within minutes and the younger one takes his time… 
I can't leave before they are both asleep otherwise they wake each other up.

I was putting my kids to bed at the same time when they shared a room but both are pretty light sleepers so I didn't want to risk waking up one or the other.
