    I would just let him stay up until he wanted to go to sleep.  I have never
had a specific "bedtime".  My parents usually went to sleep at about 9:00 or
so, and they would tell me that it was time to go to sleep, but I was free to
stay up until I felt it was time to go to sleep.
    One question:  What are the reasons people have for setting specific
bedtimes for their children?  How about curfews? (I never had one either)
