[quote=Anonymous]Why would a high school student need a set "bedtime" and "wake up time" in the summer? Tell her you'll leave her alone about "bedtime" as long as she's responsible enough to get to bed a little earlier on days where she can't sleep in. If you consider 7 or 8 a.m.. to be "sleeping in" and the kid doesn't have a job, a camp or something to wake up for, you might want to re-think your idea of "sleeping in." For many teens, being a "night owl" is perfectly normal and in sync with their natural circadian rhythms. You can't force someone to be a morning person. During the two weeks of summer, I usually make my night owl teen set his alarm a little earlier each day to get him prepared for the 6:30 wakeup time for the school year. However, he never fully adjusts to getting up at 6:30, Kudos, I guess, for the parents who are tucking in their HS juniors at 9 p.m. [/quote]
