to ask about (mid age) teenagers and bed routine

[rhubarbcrumbles]

Age 15 is what I mean by mid age

Do they still have a time you expect them in bed by?

Do you still enforce no technology in rooms? (and if so, kudos to you if you manage it!)

Dd16 and td15, 10.30 lights out on a school night but can stay up weekends as long as they're not too loud.
They have tech in their rooms - dd listens to music to fall asleep but they're pretty trustworthy so I dony have to police it.

*don't

Dd15
No tech after 9, phone and iPad downstairs ( anyway she has no data and we switch the router off at night).

DD was in bed by 10 in GCSE year.She had a laptop and phone in her room but parental controls on the WiFi cut out anything interesting.
She has to set off for college at 7am now so goes to bed 9.30 as she is otherwise tired,no block on anything as she now realises why I am tired and she and all her friends don't text/do media at stupid hours.They're growing up

Dd 17 ds 15. Weeknights bed at 10 unless anything happening, they can read after 10 if they want. No phones in room overnight - all left in mine - and they have no other tech in their rooms at all anyway. Weekends do what you want so long as you're quiet.
I'm a dragon and the strictest mum in the world apparently (not borne out by my conversations with their friends mums!!)

DS (also 15) has recently had his "bedtime" removed largely because my idea of an early night is around two hours prior to his

It's largely been uneventful, his bedroom joins ours so he cannot be too loud and he's mostly quite sensible. I've attempted to remove tech but he still has a gaming PC, and uses his phone for music, audio books etc so I've really conceded defeat on that one.

There's been the odd day where he's been inexplicably tired and has struggled to make it to the bus on time, but inevitably he will disappear to bed earlier that night so seems able to self regulate quite well. All in all it seems a battle I could probably win if I wanted, but it suits all of us not to and gives him a sense of personal responsibility.

My 14 year old DS goes to bed between 9.30/10 on a school night otherwise he’s shattered the next day. Usually about 11 on weekends. He has his phone in his room for the alarm and have never caught him using it once he’s in bed. 17 year old DD goes to bed when she feels like it but she’s usually first to go so around 9.30 ish most school nights.
