A 6 year old should go to bed around 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM on school nights if they have to be up by 6:00 AM.

On weekends when they can sleep in then they should be in bed at least by 10:00 PM.

A 6 year old needs at least 10 to 12 hours of sleep at night to be alert and healthy.

So the 6 year old needs to go to bed at a time where they can get enough sleep for the night before they have to wake up in the morning.

My 6 year old son has to be up by 6:00 AM to get ready and take a bath, get changed, have some breakfast and be out to catch the school bus by 7:00 AM.

His school bus gets here by 7:00 AM so he has to be ready before 7:00 so he has enough time to be ready to go outside to get onto the school bus.

So my 6 year old son goes to bed by 8:00 PM which gives him 10 hours of sleep which is enough for him.

As gets get older they tend to need less sleep but still most kids should average at least 10 hours of sleep at night to be alert and healthy the next day.

Or the kid may fall asleep and not pay attention in class.
