10yr old DS bedtime??

[~Stoked~]

My 10 yo goes to bed at 8pm. She is always asking me if she can stay up til 8.30 as all her friends at school do! She gets up at 5.30am every morning (her choice) as she has two ponies that are her responsibility to look after so i will be keeping her bedtime at 8pm. On nights when she has gone to bed later she is very tired the next day and often needs a nap!

8.30 is my 9 yr olds bed time...although most nights she's not asleep until 9.30. She's up between 7.30-8am.
