What time does your child go to bed, and who decides when it's bedtime in your house?

Show by 947
Last week, we had a young caller, Thando, tell us that her bedtime is 11 pm. And it got us thinking... Thando, are you going to bed at 11 pm because you're allowed to, or because nobody is telling you to go to bed earlier? But seriously, parents, is 11 pm an acceptable bedtime for a child? Are we becoming too relaxed about our children's sleeping routines? And how much sleep are our kids actually getting on school nights? CHAT TO DR ALISON BENTLEY: General practitioner and sleep disorder specialist in South Africa Dr Bentley has been seeing patients with sleep problems, both adults and children, off and on over the last 30 years.
