Really? Is he up playing video games all nights?

I could see on a rare occasion if sick, but sleeping until 3:30pm on a regular basis, is not normal

Yes he often does play games late. OK 3:30 PM would be extreme. But regularly after 12.

I’m going to be blunt. This is total loser behavior.

+1 blame the parents for not having rules.

Never say never - I was very much a night owl and heavy late sleeper until I went into menopause. Now I wake up naturally between 5:30-6:30 every morning and am happy to hit the sack by 9:30-10 and usually asleep not longer after.

Body clocks change across a lifetime, especially into elder years when we don’t need as much sleep anymore.

Have you never been a teen or do you not have teens?

They biologically can't fall asleep really early. They are also developing/growing a lot and need as much sleep as a newborn.

I do have a teen and that’s just not true. My teen (almost 15) goes to bed around 10 pm normally. We wouldn’t allow him to stay up past midnight unless it was like New Years or something. A sick kid? He’d be going to bed earlier. Absolutely not going to stay up past midnight. Parenting fail.

That is nuts.

Sick kid sleep a lot. Is it really a surprise?

If he’s sick, he shouldn’t be going to school.
