Same bedtime and wake time, all week
What it is
Keep bed and wake times within about an hour, weekends included; the exact clock times are convention — consistency is the point.
Always on
- Typical anchors: toddlers asleep 19:00–20:30, school kids by ~21:00 — but your family's hour is fine if it's stable.
- With gan and school, weekend drift matters; one late-morning day still fits the ±1 h rule.
