[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, because sleep is the glue that holds people together.  I judge parents who are highly-educated and *don't* pay attention to something as fundamental as their children's sleep needs.[/quote]

I don’t judge others on this. But my parents, who are lovely, did not impose bedtimes and didn’t care if my bedtime was all over the place. I am a horrible sleeper and it is very hard to develop good habits as an adult.

So, we do impose bedtime strictly. But honestly, after years of it, DS now prefers it. He is 15 and goes to bed on his own by 9:45, maybe later on weekends. We started keeping his phone in our room at bedtime in middle school and he just puts it there now on his own. He does play year round sports, so I think he’s just sleepy. I love that he prioritizes sleep. It makes him much more relaxed and healthier.  [/quote]

I also have a 15 year old that knows her sleep needs are high and doesn't fight a bedtime that is a lot earlier than her peers. If she were a night owl and couldn't fall asleep at 9:30-10 we wouldn't force her, but that's just how she is and I think it's great because they all have to get up early for HS[/quote]
