Children should get about 8 - 11 hours sleep every night. Going to bed at around 8.30pm at the latest and usually awaking around 7 to 8am. At the age of abour 12 or 13 children tend to start wanting to go to bed later and get up later. This is OK. Melatonin which is a drug inside of you that makes you sleep is released later. So this is why we always want to sleep in!! The best thing to do is try to keep your sleeping patterns the same every day - don't always go to bed at a different time. Light is the best way to reset your melatonin level. If you are having trouble getting to sleep then at night time make sure your room is completely dark and in the morning make sure everything is really light, that way your body will be aware of the time and your melatonin level we will reset and you will hopefully get to sleep earlier and get the 9-11 hours of sleep you need EVERY night.
