Bedtime, in Western parenting tradition, involves to a greater or lesser extent, rituals made to help children feel more secure, and become accustomed toward a comparatively more rigid sleep schedule than they would otherwise establish.
Bedtime for children may become a positive ritual including:
In some families, bedtime is an important bonding period for parents and children. The routines of bedtime can be an opportunity to spend quality time with a child, discussing emotional concepts such as views of daytime experiences, expressing interests as plans for the next day, and learning, for example with a book. It plays a key part in many parenting styles.
Children refusing to go to bed, or unwilling to go to bed, or even scared to fall asleep, is a common problem. The causes of the reluctance may include:
If people do not get enough sleep, they will function less well the following day. Growing children (particularly teenagers) need more sleep than others, but may be reluctant to go to bed at a suitable time, while their morning is scheduled by an alarm clock and appointments. This can become a significant developmental issue for months or years.
Little Red Riding Hood, also known as Little Red Cap, is a European fairy tale about a young girl and a Big Bad Wolf. The story has been changed considerably in its history and subject to numerous modern adaptations and readings. The story was first published by Charles Perrault in Histoires ou contes du temps passé in 1697.
This story is number 333 in the Aarne-Thompson classification system for folktales.
The story revolves around a girl called Little Red Riding Hood, after the red hooded cape/cloak (in Perrault's fairytale) or simple cap (in the Grimms' fairytale) she wears. The girl walks through the woods to deliver food to her sick grandmother.
A wolf wants to eat the girl but is afraid to do so in public. He approaches Little Red Riding Hood and she naïvely tells him where she is going. He suggests the girl pick some flowers, which she does. In the meantime, he goes to the grandmother's house and gains entry by pretending to be the girl. He swallows the grandmother whole,(In some stories, he locks her in the closet), and waits for the girl, disguised as the grandma.
Little Red is a rock band from Melbourne, Australia consisting of Adrian Beltrame (guitar, vocals), Dominic Byrne (guitar, vocals), Quang Dinh (bass, vocals), and Taka Honda (drums).
The band was formed in 2005 and were featured on Triple J Unearthed. The band won the 2008 Australia-wide 'Garage to V' competition held by Virgin Mobile to win a slot at all shows of the Australian V Festival in 2008, while the band has also performed at the Falls Festival, Meredith Music Festival, the Big Day Out, the Pyramid Rock Festival and the Laneway Festival.
Little Red's songs "Waiting", "Coca-Cola" and "Witch Doctor" have all received regular play on Australian nation-wide radio station Triple J, while "Coca-Cola" was also included on the official soundtrack of Australian TV series Underbelly, and was voted #47 on the 2008 Triple J Hottest 100.
The band independently released in Australia an album entitled Listen to Little Red on 28 June 2008, which debuted at number 29 on the ARIA Charts. The album was licensed for release outside of Australia by the UK independent Lucky Number Music and was released on 16 November 2009 in the UK and early 2010 internationally.

Craving your body all through the night
Feels like I'm going through withdrawls
I wanna hold you
I want you inside of these of these arms
I'm dying to taste you, I can't deny
Can't get out of my mind
Please let me hold you
'cause I need your lovin' tonight
Whenever I'm near you
My love just comes down
Whenever I see you

All through the day and the night
Whenever I'm near you
It feels like bedtime
Constantly thinking of things to do
Places where we can make love
I wanna freak you

Placing my kisses all over you
Caressing you so nice and slow
Oh how, I want you

(B. Rush/J. Lyon)
Oh, baby, let's not pretend
Neither of us needs another part-time friend
Right about now is the time to take a chance
Ah, baby, you know that it's the truth
Both of us know what the other's been through
But this don't seem like the same old song and dance
Ah baby, it's bedtime
But that don't mean it's got to be the last time
Love doesn't stop at bedtime
I want this love to last for all time
I know you want to hold on tight
But you're frightened by the laughter in the lonely night
Coming from a lover, who became a total stranger
Ah, baby, it's bedtime
But that don't mean it's got to be the last time
Love doesn't stop at bedtime
I want this love to last for all time
I will never run away
Taking all the love you give
Let you down, lead you on
Take all you need to live
Oh, baby, take my hand
Listen to me darling
Try to understand
This time, this time
There isn't any danger
Ah baby, it's bedtime
But that don't mean it's got to be the last time
Love doesn't stop at bedtime
I want this love to last for all time
i'd love to stick out my tongue and catch the rain in my mouth
but never take the time
i see you i want to tell you maybe a hello see if things worked out for you
i'd love to but never do let me get under your covers
let me hide away from all my loose ends
they just pile on i try to find out where the road begins
it's like turning on the brights on a fog filled night
if i had to do I'd keep my friends i remember me
and frog walking through town
[Chorus] x2
Sleep nigga, Bedtime.
Flatlinnne, Redline.
Ain't a nigga fuckin with my bread grind.
Sleep nigga! Bedtime.

Yeah, South Beach, freak chick, mouth piece, feet kicked
Stacking paper, need whip

[Chorus] x2
[Verse 2]
Yeah, fuck it let em' hate a nigga made it.
These niggas say it but it's never demonstrated.

Niggas snitchin if I diss em I get litigated.
You need twenty-thousand on your whip for daytons.

I think it's past our bedtime... let's go to sleep now, yeah.
I think it's past our bedtime... let's go to sleep.
I don't understand the question.
I don't understand the question.
We crush a flower in heaven, violet envy.
We'll waste an hour in heaven, and go to sleep.
My inside is out, and you're winning.
Her children will not know beginning.
I don't understand the question.
I don't understand the question.
Come to me now
Sit on my lap
Listen to me
Show me a smile
Look at my face
Hear what I say
Don't be afraid

Don't you know it's past you bedtime
Let me be the one to come and tuck you in
Try to run away and hide
Don't you know, don't you know it's past your bedtime

Under the sheets

It comes with a smile
Don't you know it's past you bedtime?
Let me be the one to come and tuck you in
Try to run away and hide
Don't you know, don't you know it's past your bedtime?
Let me be the one to come and tuck you in.
Then I hear you sigh
