[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid does sleepovers regularly. Nobody sleeps until about 4am. However, I sometimes insist at my house that the girls totally shut down at 11pm — when I do this they are usually all asleep by midnight. I’m lucky that none of the 5 closest friends my 14 year old has have any social media so I’m not worried about that yet. Lots of her other friends do but the aren’t the ones spending the night.

That said, I cannot tell what you are trying to solve for. Her being tired? Or her freaking out in the middle of the night?[/quote]

OP here and I know it’s been a while but I guess I would say I’m most worried she will freak out during the night if she’s the only one who can’t sleep (she gets less rational when she’s exhausted) but also not excited about the idea of her being up literally the whole night. I mostly want to be clear on what the expectation is. If I tell her “you can’t call in the middle of the night unless something is really wrong” I don’t know that she will want to try it. She’s pretty anxious and in general I try to encourage her to try things but also set her up for success.

I know it was not the point of my post but the technology aspect of things does make me more apprehensive. A couple girls are on their devices A LOT and they are the ones I know the least/have the least confidence that the parents are putting restrictions on social media etc.[/quote]
