I don't really know what a reasonable time is I just fall asleep when I pass out from sleep deprivation.

I'm 16 and went to bed at 10:30 on school nights (wouldn't fall asleep until at least 11:30 anyway) - now I've finished I go to sleep and wake up on the same day.

...What?

OT:If someone falls asleep on the couch at 9, then they need an early bedtime. That age can be pretty sleep-heavy for both genders.
Yeah, I'm being kind of hypocritical there, considering when I went to bed, but still.

I would say it varies from person to person and what you do in your life.

Usually i would go to bed around 11 when i was younger and at school or college and that was pretty much the norm for me when working 9 to 5 as well unless there was any real reason necessary to stay up later.

But since losing my job last month now i pretty much just stay up till like 3 am everynight but thats fine cos i have nothing to do the next day and just get up later so i don't really think its the time you go to sleep that matters or should be thought of as reasonable or not rather the amount of sleep you get.

I'm just saying i can't sleep unless i'm really tired, and i don't start feeling tired until 1am at least.
If I went to bed at 10pm because i needed an early night I'd still just end up lying there wide awake until i felt tired at 2am.
(not quite sure what's causing the confusion xD )

I know i'm straying off-topic a bit there, I'd say a reasonable time to go to sleep would be 11pm for me. I just wish i could sleep at that time, would make college a ton easier.

I'm 15 and go when I'm tired. Generally not too late so that I am not nackered in the morning, but even if I went at 9, I wouldn't be up till about 11.

Really, it goes from person to person, I go when I'm tired and my parents understand that I'm bright enough to know the consequences of pulling all nighters, or going at 4am. (I mostly go at 12 tbh,it's when I get tired <3)

Sleep need is highly personal so there really is no specific time one should go to bed.
The "8 hours" is a myth. I usually sleep 6 or so hours, and I know many who sleep 3-4 hours.

I find sleeping hard and boring... When I was her age I was supposed to go to bed at 9pm or 10pm, but I didn't actually get to sleep until, say 11pm.

Ten or Eleven at the very latest. As a general rule of thumb, children (or even young teenagers) never know what's good for them. Kindly remind her that she is 14, not 17.

When I was 14, my parents wanted lights out at 10:00pm on the dot on a school night, regardless whether I could sleep or not. On a school night, my brother goes to bed at 10:00pm. So I would say 10:00pm-11:00pm is a good bedtime for a 14 year old

If the silly cow is staying up all night and falling asleep at 9, then sleeping through the day, be fucking harsh. 6PM, shut her curtains, get her in the wooliest PJ's ever and turn the heating on full.

well i'm 17 and go to bed at 1:00 haha. But at 14 i would suggest 11 or 10 depending on what they do or are doing. for example, if it's a regular school day 11, if exams are coming up 10.

At 14? She certainly won't agree with it, but I think 10:00 is fair. Add half an hour for every birthday after that. At 18 she should be responsible enough to decide her own bedtime.

Speaking from experience, going to sleep really late, then having to get up at 6am for work kinda ruins the day.

Seeing as she's at school, 10pm seems right.
