Bed Time for a 10 Year Old

I am just wondering what time you put your 10 year old to bed. She currently goes to be around 8:00 but she thinks she should be able to stay up later. I put my 8 year old to bed at the same time. We get up around 6:00 in the morning. Just wondering your thought on this.
