[quote=Anonymous]Mine is 13, so maybe a year makes a difference, but we do bedtime between 9 and 10 a.m. year-round, unless there is a special event (e.g., going to a show or game downtown, sleepover party, etc.) Phone is downstairs then. She is consistently an early riser, and gets irrational when she hasn't had enough sleep. She also goes to summer camp, so can't sleep till noon. She is very active and really is tired by 9 or 10. I have another tween that goes to sleep between 10 and 11, and typically gets up later (sleeps in till 9 or so on weekends, up by 7 or 8 on weekdays). In contrast, I regularly stayed up late when I was a teen, but I had nowhere to go over the summer, so would often sleep until 2 p.m. It probably wasn't the greatest, as I was often sort of depressed and developed bad sleep habits that have persisted through my life. Even if she doesn't have anywhere to go, I think anything beyond midnight is unreasonable and probably unhealthy. [/quote]
