Your wife is indeed a genius, and I'm loving Nurture Shock (I'm calling it the Freakonomics of raising kids). We've struggled with this one and are on the "normal" side of the equation with our 4 year old going to bed between 8 and 9pm and are trying to wind back the clock as a good night's sleep has a dramatic effect. Cheers, Rich John,

Until she was seven, my daughter slept from 7pm to 7am every night. If ever I missed the 6:30 to 7:00pm window, it was much more difficult for her to fall asleep. I had assumed she was one of those kids who needs their sleep, but I'm rethinking this based on your thoughts. It's not easy now since I don't get home from work until 7:00 or so and kids even in elementary school have so much homework every night. I'm still trying to get her as much sleep as possible.
