How do you handle the family logistics that facilitate going to bed by 8pm?

Just don't break the chain. Kids are all about consistency in my experience.
Putting the kids to sleep at 8 doesn't mean going to bed at 8pm myself.
Again we keep a strict schedule. Dinner at 6, bedtime reading at 7.30, light out at 8.00.
Weekends we are a little less strict yet they normally wake up at 6 anyway because they are used to it.
All it requires is the same kind of prioritization and effort we put into so many other things we care about.
