Ken, last night D went to bed at 10. She was up all night. For months, she's gone to bed at 8. 7 is the time we aim to have her in her room. 7:30 is "in bed" and she takes about 20 mins to fall asleep.

Again, I'm not clear what you're telling me to do.

Our doctor told us to do it. We do it b/c she is prone to chronic bouts of overtiredness (meaning, avoiding normal bedtime, not napping long, waking too early after not enough hours of sleep, waking in the middle of the night, unable to return to sleep, rubbing eyes all day long, cranky, etc.)
