sleep

I think it is quite an all right routine and time. Before 9:30/10pm is an optimal time to go to bed for the little ones. Unlessit is affecting your routine and day I woukd adjust it 15mn at a time. It can take a couple of wees but it works

We’re exactly the same , sleep around 9pm and wakes about 8am. Suits me perfectly. I hate early starts!! I also work shifts (some early, some late (finish around midnight) so this suits us perfectly. We also don’t sit down to dinner til about 19:30 so it all fits. Dinner , bath , bed. He also naps 1-3pm as well !

Only thing is if I’m on an early shift we have to wake him about 7:30 to get to nursery but that’s fine

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

I’d say stick with o it if he’s in routine without broken sleep in the night - the past 2 weeks my little one has started to sleep better in her cot, she used to cry if I put her in the cot half awake. But I put her down when she’s asleep and stays asleep until 7:30/8am as she has started to go to bed earlier 8pm usually x

Bring everything forward 15mins every few days, eg wake him up at 8:15am tomorrow, nap 12:45pm, bed 8:45pm, give it a few days and then move everything forward another 15mins
If he is waking at 8:30am and you’re trying to out him to bed earlier then yes you will end up with broken nights x

If it does work for you keep it as it is but obviously if it is something you want to change then I’d start with waking him up a little earlier in the morning, 15 mins or so at a time which should then bring the nap to finish earlier resulting in an earlier bedtime (I did this with my little girl as she was going bed around 9 and waking at 8 but when I went back to work it didn’t work for me, I needed her awake by 7 ideally so now she’s in bed by half 7-8pm x

My son usually wakes between 7-8am and is in bed asleep around 7-8pm so either way he sleep through solidly for 12 hours, as long as your son is thriving, plenty of sleep and what have you, nothing wrong with that bedtime at all x

Don’t forget all the clocks change at the end of March, so maybe don’t make extra work for yourself if things are going ok at the moment ☺️
