[quote=Anonymous]Looking to crowdsource information here. Ideally, we’d love for DC to be lights out by 9 because they’re up at 6:30. So 9 hours of sleep, assuming it takes them a half hour or so to get settled and fall asleep. But DC is increasingly angry about this, in part because most of their friends who are on their phones (Snapchat) until at least 10, and they feel left out because we’re “babying them.” To us, this is a matter of health and well-being. We keep seeing studies connecting sufficient sleep with better mental and physical health, learning, and mood - especially for teens. But peer connection is important at this age, too. And based on what we see coming in on Snapchat after DC relinquishes their phone at 9pm, DC’s right that “that’s when everyone is on” and they’re “missing out” because of our rules. Thoughts?
