Teenage bedtime. A few questions....

[Hellvelyn]

A few questions about your teenagers and their bedtime please......
What time do they usually go to bed?
Do you have to nag?
Phone in bedroom or somewhere else for charging?
Do you have to remove phone if it is charged elsewhere?
Do your teenagers go to bed before you?
Any problems getting them up in the morning?

My teens are ds(17) and dd(15) DS is usually in bed before midnight. He takes his phone downstairs to charge just before bed. No problems getting up. Needs nagging if he forgets to take the phone downstairs.
DD usually in bed by 11. Needs nagging otherwise she will just sit on her phone endlessly. Phone often removed about 10.30 so she starts moving in the right direction. No problem getting up for school. Will happily sleep in until midday on a Saturday. I go to bed before both of them but DH usually about the same time as the teens. Over to you....

Dd16 usually in bed by 10.30. She charges her phone in her room overnight but I can trust her not to use it. She goes to bed without any nagging. She gets up fine in the morning.
Dd14 would stay up all night. Hates getting up for school. I take her phone at 10.30 otherwise would be on it all night. Lights out as I take the phone apart from on weekends when I let her decide how long she stays up.

I go to bed the same time as them usual. Dd14 stays up later than me on weekends.

Dd15 and ds13 both go to bed around 10 on school nights. I never ask or nag now and they are both sensible about getting a good nights sleep. They charge their phones in their rooms with no issues.

Dd 13yo (14 in 10 days!) no phone (other than to check messages) after 7pm and it stays downstairs, aim for bed at 9, it's normally closer to 9.30.

She needs a lot of sleep and the phone wrecks her ability to relax and go to sleep well.

DS (15) no bed time. I work shifts so I'm often in bed earlier than him so no way of policing an arbitrary bedtime.
He normally potters off about 10pm (which is about 3 hours earlier than I would have done at his age) and doesn't seem to struggle to get up in the morning.
He'll lie in at weekends but not excessively so and seems pretty good at self regulation.

DS 14 bed at 9.30 can read till whenever. Phone downstairs until after morning chores are done and he is ready for school. Gets up no problem at 7.30am.

DS(15) has to turn his devices off at 9.30 (usually 9.45 though 🙄), then he's in bed for 10 and lights off at 10.30. He usually needs nagging about the devices but generally is quite good at the rest. He charges his phone in his room.

DD(18) is an unknown quantity as she has ME and isn't in school. But her bedtime routine is devices off at 10, in bed with lights off by 11 and then falls asleep any time between midnight and 5am, depending on whether her melatonin tablet worked.

A good bedtime routine begins with waking up at the same time every morning, including weekends. We always think it's the night time that regulates our body clocks, but it starts in the morning.
