Oh you have to wear them out during the day !
If their days are busy it's easier to impose bedtimes.

@Picklebobble2 problem is even though this is done, the parents normally allow the child to set their own hours as they (the parents) do not conform, to the normal sleeping hours.

@GeniUs Recipe for disaster then !
Children need boundaries. Rules. It's how they learn to take care of what they need rather than what they think they want.

We're the same age we think the same but after your initial question, it's made me realise just how many external factors are 'graying' this question!
