Sleep is really, really, really important to health, behavior, and development. I could send you reams of studies. 10 is a late bedtime for that age.

A little more exercise during the day might help.

What do you think is a reasonable bedtime for 11, almost twelve year olds? DS goes to bed at 9, but some nights it's 9:30. We never have to wake him in the morning though, unlike my older son.
