[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me it doesn't matter sense to start kids on a bad habit early just because they may have that same bad habit in college. Sleep is so important to mental and physical health. I wouldn't compromise about sleep. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/psy-curious/201702/should-bedrooms-be-no-phone-zones-teens https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/27/briefing/phones-mental-health.html [/quote] Keeping a phone in your bedroom isn’t a bad habit in college. What is the other option? Not having a phone? Not living in a dorm? The actual bad habit is accessing your phone when you should be asleep. Leaving your phone outside your room is one strategy to manage that habit, but if you know someone is going to be in a situation where that strategy isn’t going to be an option then teaching and practicing a new strategy before they are in college makes sense.[/quote]
