[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have a bedtime for my 14yr old. I think by that time it is time to start to self regulate. However all electronics automatically get shut off at 10pm, excluding the Kindle paperwhite. I presume my kid is asleep by 11pm. He wakes at 730. I don’t think it’s enough because I have to wake him every morning and it’s hard. I think he needs 10hrs, but i cannot force him to sleep at 930.[/quote]

It doesn’t work for my 14 year old, who isn’t a middle schooler btw, but a high schooler, to have a 10pm shut off time as he needs access to his computer for homework. Unfortunately some times he has enough homework that he’s working on it past midnight. Since starting high school he’s been perpetually tired (he leaves for school at 6:35am). The homework load is extremely intense and it’s not a question of time management - he’s very good with it and very self motivated to get things done. I realized that I need to just leave it to him - he is responsible for completing his school work and he’s responsible for getting enough sleep. I can’t micromanage it at this age and keeping up with school work is too important.[/quote]
