[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for the responses.

A few observations.  First, I think there's some truth to the idea that his body clock is shifting later.  He is certainly a hell of a lot more energetic at 10pm than I am.  He seems to need some down time right after school before digging in to homework, and that's understandable.

Second, I understand the point about smartphones.  He has one, as of the start of this school year, and there is certainly some jerking around on the phone going on.  Not a ton, but not a trivial amount either.  I'm torn, because he's basically hard working and if he needs/wants to zone out a little while in the afternoons that seems reasonable to me.  But obviously it's an issue if he's spending so much time on the phone it interferes with other things.  I'm not seeing that yet, but I'm keeping an eye on it.  I also think these devices are going to be part of our lives for the foreseeable future, and 15 is not too young to start figuring out how to make them work for you and not vice versa.  But obviously opinions about that may differ.[/quote]
