sleeping time?

my 1 year old goes to bed at 7pm and wakes around 7 - 7.30am.
my 3.5yr old goes to bed at 7.30pm and wakes at the same time 7ish - 7.30am.
they both take a 2-2.5hr nap during the day
 
My 9 month old is in bed between 6-7pm, depending on how long his daytime naps have been. He isn't a good napper so can't really stay up much past 7pm. I plan to keep the 7pm bedtime for as long as possible....I need some me time!
 
My 18 month old sleeps between 7- 7:30pm and wakes up around 6 am. When she was 1 year old she used to sleep between 6:30- 7pm and wake up around 6am.
 
wow.. as i scroll down to see the replies, i see the timing is getting earlier and earlier..
i tried putting baby to bed at 9.30pm and that also she crawl around here and there till pass midnight. i guess that's because daddy is working in the room with the reading lights on.
aussie mum, what kind of activities do the kids do ,during the day.. ? they seems to be sleeping quite well.
 
my 17 month old is down for the count by 7-7:15pm... i have read and heard that the 7-7 sleep cycle is most conducive to a child's development (because they do develop and grow in their sleep!). not that my son sleeps til 7am (he's usually up around 6/630am) but it does guarantee him at least 11 hours of sleep every night which i know is good for him because he wakes up so happy and refreshed. also, as many other posters have written, i really really really love that the house is quiet and peaceful by 7pm. my husband and i relish the few hours we get together just the two of us before we hit the sack as well.
 
For my 8 month old, bedtime routine starts at 7.15 and he`s usually asleep by 8pm. Weekends he usually stays up a bit later due to our own timetable. I have experimented with many bedtimes, but this is the one that most works. My husband isn`t home yet, but as I see it, too bad for him. I`m taking care of him all day every day - I also need a break. As everyone knows, no matter how cute your baby is or how much you love them, bedtime is always a nice part of the day.
 
My 10 month old lately has been going to bed at around 8pm and out of all her different bedtimes (from 11pm, to 10pm, to 9pm) this actually works best for us. I think she is getting more sleep at night now - although she seems to do better with only one daily nap, I think. From my limited experience, it seems that my daughter generally wakes around the same time regardless of when we put her to bed. And if I put her to bed later, she needs more sleep in the day time. At the moment, my husband isn't seeing her much - he's studying part time for about 4 months... but after his exams, he'll be getting home around 7 or 7:30 again and he'll still be able to see her a bit before bed. That's if I'm still doing the same bedtime routine by then ;)
