Bedtime
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the parenting tradition. For the British television series, see Bedtime (TV series).
A bedtime is a popular parenting tradition in the West that involves, to a greater or lesser extent, rituals made to help children feel more secure [1], and become accustomed to a comparatively more rigid schedule of sleep than they would sometimes prefer. It may involve stories, songs, nursery rhymes, and/or methods of coaxing the children into changing into their pajamas.
In boarding schools and on trips or holidays that involve young people, the equivalent of bedtime is lights-out.
Sometimes the term is used to mean simply "time for bed," similar to curfew.
