No, children sleep through the night the same as any other sim (if they don't have pressing needs). It's elders who will get up before 6 if they're fully rested. But because, as you mentioned, children seem to get tired faster than older sims, sometimes it happens that they've conked out after school and gained full energy before midnight. Midnight to 6 is the magic time that all sims (except elders) will keep sleeping even if their energy bar is full. If any sim gets a full bar before midnight (or after 6) then they get straight up (and then get their sleep schedules out of whack, because you can't make them go back to bed if their bar is full).
I actually like that beds give different energy amounts. Makes it more realistic and gives sims something to save up for.
