[quote=Anonymous]I have two girls (5th and 7th grade) and they have done lots of sleepovers with close friends -- sometimes one on one and sometimes 4 to 8 other girls.  The older one does bring her phone, but claims to always get sleep.  I've noticed that the 7th graders don't seem to have as many sleepovers.  The 5th grader has complained in the past that sometimes she doesn't sleep, but she always sticks it out and doesn't bother anyone in the middle of the night.  A year or two ago, she did get a bit of a reputation for being the first to wake up.  One time, last year, I had to bring a kid home in the middle of the night.  I suppose it was pretty disruptive, but I didn't mind that much.  If a kid needs to go home, that's that.  She has come back since then without any problems.

I'm a fan of sleepovers as long as the kids are being good to each other and the decreased sleep doesn't impact other activities.  It's certainly not a way to improve performance in a game or recital!  Also, excessive phone or tablet use bothers me -- that's the quickest way to see that the girls aren't clicking that night -- sometimes a movie or game helps and sometimes it's time to turn things into a sleepunder.
