New Bedtimes

Yes we send our older DC (year seven and eight) to bed by 9pm, although earlier if they are tired. It takes so much longer now to get through the homework, sort out what they need for the next day and have a bit of time to chill. But they are still all dead to the world when I drag them out again at 7 the next morning!

Any tips for "draging" them out of bed in the morning?
my DD's should be at breakfast table at 07.30 and we leave for school at 08.00, invaribly DD in yr8 appears about 07.50 despite nagging and finally threats
Yr5 DD goes to bed 20.30 and Yr8 at 21.00 but allowed to read until 22.00.
This constant nagging start to the day is driving me mad

but it only works if they don't have a TV or radio in the room (or nearby Church be11s that to11 the hours). They don't keep their mobiles on in the night or in their rooms.
They are always amazed that we are in the car just in time for the 8am news.
