As I have three kids the two older ones go to bed at 7.30 and will wake at 6.30 but they just sit a watch telly and my 15mth old will go down about 6.30 or 7 but as she still needs to be taped to sleep I dont have to worrie about her talking or playing as if she went to bed without been asleep then she would be screaming the house down. But she will still wake about the same time as the other two.
