Is 9 00 an appropriate bedtime for a 13 year old?

Answer 1

In most cases it is not a usual or appropriate time for most fifteen year olds to go to sleep either because they are usually Surfing the net, talking to friends, or doing school work. it depends on how responsible the fifteen year old is.

Answer 2

The answer really depends upon the next-day expectations of the 13-year-old. Teens should normally get 8.5 to 9 hours of sleep. So, if they need to get up around 5:30am or 6:00am, 9:00pm would be an OK bedtime. If they don't need to get up until 7:00am, then bedtime at 9:30pm or 10:00pm would work.

Now, getting the teen to fall asleep and wake up at the prescribed times can be difficult. See Related Links.
