My niece lives now lives with me (10 years old) and doesn’t like me calling it “bedtime”… it’s “baby-ish”… but she doesn’t have an alternate suggestion. I’m open to ideas?

    Well, her problem is probably just the idea that she has a bedtime rather than the terms used.

    My solution would be to have some sort of loud speaker telling everyone something along the lines of “NOW IS THE TIME OF SLEEPING”. If you have some kind of home assistant thing you can probably set that up. That could be paired with warning count downs and automatic dimming of lights.

    I actually have a routine on Alexa that turns off lights and starts dimming others for me.
