Teen 14 old wakes up at 1-2 pm?

[Anonymous]

I know teens need sleep. How do parents manage their schedule during holidays when teens wake up at 1-2 pm?

Are they staying up until 3 am on their phones or computers? I’d start there.

This. My teens go to sleep around 11pm/midnight and wake up no later than 10am. They don't have electronics in their bedrooms.

I wake up my teens (junior and senior in HS) at 9:30am. That is plenty of sleeping in (IMO).

Mine goes to sleep at 9:30 on weekdays and gets up at 6:30.

On weekends he is up until 10:30 or so and still sleeps until 11-12. I think it’s just not enough sleep during the week. No electronic devices in his room.

I don't manage my 14yo's schedule just for the sake of managing it during breaks like this. If he wants to game until 3 and sleep until 1 then whatever.

He has basketball practice starting this week though so he will have to think twice about that schedule.

Phone confiscated at 10pm

WiFi shuts off to their devices at 10, phone stays in kitchen for the night. They are always up at 9 at the lastest. I’d wake them up by 10 if they weren’t. Sleeping past 10 is just plan slothful.

I don’t care if my 15 yo is up until 2am or later and sleeps half of the day if he doesn’t need to be anywhere. He is still sleeping. I don’t need to get him up just for the sake of getting up. Didn’t any of you stay up half the night watching MTV? I did and slept well past noon on vacations.

It's the holidays. As long as they get back on schedule before school starts. NBD.

Why do they need to be up at 9:30? Your senior will be away at college in a few months and can sleep as late as they please on the weekends.

Same. Mine are 15 and 13. That said, if we need to be somewhere they are of course expected to get up when asked, and they do.

Let them sleep. It promotes growth.

This is essentially where I am. All last week, DD was up until 1:30 or 2:00. Starting yesterday, she went to bed at midnight. It'll slide towards going to bed by 10:00, by next Monday. That's all I really care about.
