Setting my brother's bedtime?

Question

I am 17. I have three younger siblings an 11 year old sister (entering sixth grade), a 13 year old brother (entering 7th grade), and a fifteen year old brother (sophomore). While my dad is gone for the week, I take care of them. What should their bedtimes be?

Answer 1

If it's during school, it depends what time they need to get up in the morning.  All of you need about 9 hours of sleep.  My kids need to get up by 7AM.  My 10 year old goes to bed at 9:30 and my oldest (who is 14) around 10:30-11:00 PM.

Answer 2

I would definitely stagger the bedtimes but when is their normal bedtime?  Their rountine should be as normal as possible no matter who is taking care of them.  I believe a normal eleven year old and 13 year old would be around 9:30 and a fifteen year old 10:30.  I know the high schools where I live start later than the middle schools but teenagers are actually hard wired for a lot of sleep so I would try to push them back a little more to 9pm and 10pm if possible.  I looked up web md to verify what I learned in child psychology.  Look at their "need to get up" time and allot the 11 year old at least 10-11 hours and the 13 and 15 year olds 8 1/4 - 9 1/2 hours each to find out your bedtime.
