[quote=Anonymous]OP - it will be fine.  Yes, my kids are often the last to sleep.  If they are, the shut the lights and lock the doors, although it's just double checking.  One is in high school, the other is in college now. They can handle it.

We have rules - they can't wake us up (except in emergency), they can't be loud, if they are watching tV without headphones, please do it in the basement.

We stopped having a bedtime after they finished 8th grade (that's what worked for us), and we said they could do what they want as long as they don't argue with each other or wake up me or DH.

We have an alarm that beeps in my room so they aren't sneaking out.

When my older one was out pre-covid, he would have to come to my room and tell me when he got home so I wouldn't worry. Younger one doesn't drive yet.

I'm sure they mostly watch TV and snapchat their friends, there was definitely a fortnight phase for one, the other binges Netfix with her friends.  At the beginning of the freedom, one was staying up until 3 or 4 am!  But honestly it's not that much fun to be tired so eventually they both settled in and probably both go to bed around midnight most nights.

I am an early riser and go to bed pretty much every night at 10.
