My daughter will be 8 in April and she goes to bed by 8 pm. She used to get up at 7 am and started being late for school. I told her if she couldn't get to school on time, we'd need to move her wake-up time. It's currently at 6:30 am but she gets a few minutes of cuddle time when she wakes up.
She has a CD she listens to at night on a timer. She uses a dental rinse where you can't drink for 30 minutes after it and that takes care of a lot of the "I need a drink" problems. She has a bedtime routine that ideally starts at 7:30 involving putting on her jammies, brushing and flossing her teeth, and brushing her hair. Theoretically I read to her but we rarely have time for that, it seems like.
