Summer vacation bedtimes?

Question

Ok its summer vacation and its only been like 1 week into summer vacation. I want to stay up to 12 but my mom thinks that i need to go to sleep at 11 or i woun't grow. I usually wake up at 7 but thats because of the school habit or i have to use the bathroom. The school habit will go away eventually. So is sleeping at 11 nessesary? Im 13 and 5,3.

Answer 1

i am 17 and have never had a set bed time.so i cant help you

Answer 2

well, I am 10 and over the summer  I dont have a bedtime. Personally, I think staying up till 12 should be ok. But its your moms choice, not mine.

Answer 3

I'm 13 and its fine to stay up till whatever. I stayed up 24 hours twice already during this vacation and have grown one inch in a month! It doesn't matter how late you stay up you'll grow just fine. By the way I haven't had a bed time since i was 8 during the summer!

Answer 4

Yes, sleeping at 11 is necessary. In  fact it's rather on the late side if you are waking up at 7. Why do you want to go to bed later and wake up later? Same amount of sleep, only less daylight while you are awake.

What's the big deal with going to bed ridiculously late? Did you ever see an adult boasting about how late their bedtime is? Nope...it's something kids do. If you want to be mature, go to bed when you are tired.

Answer 5

No, its just maybe your mom needs some free time for herself. You are going to grow no matter what time you go to bed.

Answer 6

I would do about 11ish. Im 12 and go to bed at ten so if your a few years older I think 11ish is good. I hope this helped.

Answer 7

the 13 yr old will always have a later bedtime than the younger children and can actively help choose the time for sleep.  keep the younger children on a schedule.

Answer 8

If you go in your room, you could stay up as late as you want. The summer is made for kids to relax, have fun with friends. Personally, I'm 12 and i' don't have a bed-time on the summer.

Answer 9

I'm 13 and go to bed around 2 sometimes. Or if im just not that tired... 4. At the beginning of summer i went to bed around 10 or 11 because of school habit. But now i stay up late. I think its kinda of weird that you have a bedtime if your 13 but what ever your mom says goes i guess. But she is wrong about growing. Your going to grow regardless of what time you fall asleep.

Answer 10

I don't think that going to sleep at exactly 11 is a big must. You will still grow even if you don't get to bed then. You are probably almost done growing depending on your family's history of how they grew. I suggest you talk to your mom about how you will be sleeping in soon and you will make up for the missed sleep then. Hope this helps!

Answer 11

Yeah. 7 hours of sleep isn't enough for you at your age.

Answer 12

i think 12 is alittle late u need atleast 8 hrs of sleep a night for ur age my younger kids go to bed at 10 and my 2 older ones r 10 and 12 and they go to bed at 11 the latest

Answer 13

i think maybe you should sleep at 11:30 or you can to your room at eleven and stay up an extra hour talking or reading or whatever. I send my twelve year old to bed at eleven and they read till their tired.

Answer 14

you need more than 7 hours of sleep. it isn't about how tall you are getting, it is about resting your brain!

try the 11 o'clock thing for a while and if you are feeling well rested (no napping in the middle of the day, not groggy in the morning) then talk to you mom about getting to stay up a little later.
