We have a relaxed bedtime. The kids "think" that their bedtime is 10pm so that if it becomes 10:00 I can say "go to bed" and they do w/o argument. Often, though, they are up a bit later watching movies with us or hanging out.
However, if I had a child who was chronically sick and who NEEDED his/her sleep, I'd implement a more strict bedtime without guilt.
