Is This School’s Viral Sleep Schedule a Game Changer or Just a Good Laugh?

Hey there, fellow parents! You might have heard about a sleep schedule that an elementary school teacher from Wisconsin shared on Facebook. It went totally viral, and honestly, it’s either going to make your life easier or have you rolling on the floor laughing.

So, who came up with this schedule?

Was it Garfield? I mean, 6:45 p.m. for bedtime? Most of us working parents are still wrapping up work and trying to get dinner on the table at that time. Seriously, how do you stick to a schedule like this? I also love how it suggests that kids aged five to eight should be in bed by 9 p.m.—if they’re not, well, good luck to you!

What’s wild is that so many parents chimed in, saying they actually follow a similar schedule. Am I just failing at parenting here? Kudos to those who can manage bedtime before Jeopardy! I can’t even remember the last time I watched that show. Here’s a taste of what some parents had to say:

• “Kudos to the teacher for sharing this, it’s pretty realistic.”
• “Glad to see I’m doing something right!”
• “This looks close to what we did, and we never had issues.”
• “Absolutely spot on!”

And then there are the parents who are in my “fail-tribe,” like:

• “Hahaha, that’s hilarious!”
• “Lol, really?”

These mixed reactions show that parenting has so many styles. Some parents get to kick back at 7 p.m., while others are still in the trenches. I might need to find a new tribe!
