Definitions of "Bedtime"

The time at which you usually get into your bed in order to sleep:
Put your toys away now, it's bedtime.

-Cambridge Dictionary

Bedtime is a popular parenting tradition in Western culture that involves rituals made to help children feel more secure, 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.
