kids bed times

12 is pretty late for a 12 year old. When I was 12 I went to bed atabout 10.30 For his teenage years he should be getting 9 hrs 45 mins sleep (well that is the average that teenagers need) so you should make sure he goes to bed early enough to get that much sleep, so he can physically develop properly, and have energy to do well at school.

That isn't a lot of sleep, but sometimes people can't go right to sleep, and he seems to be doing well in school and everything. Still, it's good to get plenty of rest,so maybe if he starts having quieter, more relaxing activities as it gets later, he will be able to get to sleep easier. It's too hard to go from loud music or video games or action movies right to lying down and trying to sleep. Maybe turn all the stimulating stuff off at 10 or so and have him read a good book or do something else that isn't so stimulating so he can wind down before bed.

i think that is late for a 12 year old but it depends on each person, some people are early morning and others are late night people so it all depends if they can go bed late and still get up for school in the morning

If he goes to bed at midnight does he still get up for school? My boyfriend's son is 14 and he goes to bed at nine on school nights and ten on other nights. But everyone has different opinions on this.

that is way to late for your 12 yr old son to go to bed, he should go to bed around 8.30pm - 9.00pm on a school night because that way he won't be tired at school, on the weekend and holidays going to bed later is okay. a child his age should get about 10 hours of sleep per day.

Well for my 11 year old, her bed time is 8:30PM, we try to guage how the act during the following day and adjust their bedtime accordingly
