What is a good time for a 13-year-old to go to bed?

[LJen]

I think my parents are being unfair by making me get ready for bed at half past eight. Most of my friends stay up until 11 pm... What do you think?
I don't really have a bedtime, but my parents expect lights out at 9pm. I also like to read when I go to bed, so I'd have to go to bed at around eight to get quality reading time.
On school days I wake up at around 7am. On weekends I wake up a little earlier.

I'm 14 and I go to bed at 10pm. A 'good' time, sleep wise is probably 9:30pm. I have to get up 4 school at 7am too. On weekends I usually get up a lot later

I think it depends upon the person... 8:00 is a little early for a 13 year old, but you didn't mention your actual bed time.

If all your friends jumped from a bridge to their death, would you follow?

8:30 is WAY to early...I'm sure you're not even done with your homework by then! But getting ready for bed at 8:30 doesn't mean that is your bedtime. FYI: 11 is too late too; you need more sleep than that at your age. 9:30-10 is more appropriate.

Well it depends when you have to wake up.

If you have to wake up at 7am, then you should be getting to sleep at 9to10pm.

Teenagers need at least 9 hours of sleep.
