[quote=Anonymous]School is a messed up sleep cycle. During breaks I tend to let my teenagers wake and sleep on their own schedules, and let them know ahead of time any family obligations. As long as they are ready and not horribly ill mannered from lack of sleep, I let them do as they will with their sleep. During school, I tell them when they need to be asleep in order to get 8 hours of sleep. Unless they are horribly ill mannered from lack of sleep, aside from letting them know if I know they aren't getting enough sleep, I let it be. If they are ill mannered from lack of sleep, I point it out in a non-confrontational way. If they don't address it, I re-establish bedtime rules. I haven't had to do that in ages, which I'm thankful for since I'll be sending one of mine off to college next year. I know sleep's going to be a problem, but I also feel comfortable DC has the tools to figure it out.[/quote]
