Poll: What is a reasonable bedtime

[SirDeadly]

I normally go to bed at 9:30 on weeknights (I'm 17) and read for an hour or listen to some music. On weekends I go to bed whenever I feel like it. At 14 years old, your sister needs as much sleep as she can get so 12 is unreasonable in my opinion.

 

[Yarggg]

For me it's whenever but I find myself not sleeping for over a week if I wanted to. But a reasonable bedtime would have to be (for a 14 year old) 10:30 or at least that's when I had to when I was that age.

 

[ethan22122]

I'm 14 and a half an I go to bed at around 9:30 10:00, but 12o pm seems a bit to late..

 

[Naheal]

Midnight if I need to get up the next day. If not, sunrise.

 

[triggrhappy94]

pre- elementary school: 8
elemenary school: 9- 10
middle school: 10
high school: 10 - 11

remember to consider a full night's rest and what time you have to wake up

 

[Sebenko]

For that lass?

NINE O'CLOCK.

And tha'll like it. Yer better stop that chunternin, child, or tha bedtime will be the last thing on yer mind.

Yorkshire: A sensible choice.

 

[Lawnmooer]

Pre 10 years old: 9pm
11-12 years old: 10pm
13-16 years old: 11pm
17+: whenever.

In my opinion that is fair, lets the younger childeren get sleep and the older ones who can go to bed early if they need/want to have a choice if they want to stay up.

 

[Dr. Dice Lord]

I like to try to get to sleep at decent times now that I'm in college. Even so... I'm usually up till 4 am. Its been that way since high school. Maybe I have sleep issues?

As for me at that age, I was sneaking under my parents detection and playing FFXI late into the night, basically nightly.

 

[Initial J]

Well I think that reasonable bedtime (especially for young people) is between 10:00 and 11:00 but I personally go to bed when I feel like it (which is usually somewhere between 01:00 and 03:00).

This might pose a problem when I have to go army next month and I'll have to go sleep at 10:00 and wake up 06:00... I've been trying to change my bedtime to 00:00 and wake up at 08:00 with pretty poor results.

 

[Seydaman]

I'm 16 and I go to bed at 10:00 on school nights...

Non-school nights, whenever usually.

This, 10 on school nights and on weekends or no school I go till I pass out, sometimes all nighters sometimes I go to 11.

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

For a 14 year old on a school night, I'd say 10:00. Then she would probably be getting about 8 hours of sleep and would be prepared for school the next day, which, if her's is anything like mine was, starts at an ungodly hour. Besides, it gives her more than enough time to relax. For the weekends and summer, let her go to bed whenever she damn well pleases.

 

[Dexiro]

I go to sleep whenever i feel tired. If i went to bed at 10:00 i'd just be lying there until 2am wide awake, might as well be doing something to pass the time.

 

[Booze Zombie]

I have no reasonable bed time, I just sleep whenever.

For someone of her age, though, 10 is the usual time, so she should feel lucky.

 

[silasbufu]

I never really knew what bedtime is.

 

[Ben Jackson]

Well I'm 13 and I go to bed at about half-past 9 to half-past 10. (basically any time between 9:30 and 10:30 if you can't work it out )

It might be because when I go to bed early I don't really get to sleep quickly and I stay up till about half past 10 singing to myself...but I guess it might just be me being a dumb-arse (as usual.)

 

[Enemy Of The State]

I go to bed when I'm tired - 11:30ish

 

[Jonluw]

Depends. I normally have to wake up at 06.20, so I try to get to bed at ten.

But if I haven't got school in the morning I go to bed whenever I feel like it.

 

[mkg]

Well that's easy. Just tell her she needs to turn off the TV, comp, phone, etc by x time and either read or study. She will fall asleep once she's no longer distracted.

 

[Phoenixlight]

Well when I have college I go to bed at 21:00 so that I can get up at 6:30 the following morning without too much trouble. Although, if you don't get up that early 22:00 would be ok.

 

[zhoominator]

At that age it was between 8.30 and 9.30 for me. But then I liked sleep and loved (and still do) getting up very early.

Even now, I'll never work into the dead of night, even if I have a deadline. I'd rather go to sleep at 8.30pm and get up at 4am to work on it.
