Found a spare phone in ds's room, need some advice please!

The rule has always been that devices go on the landing so as not to disturb sleep --or go on Snapchat all night- -

Recently 15 year old ds is really struggling with tiredness, big bags under his eyes , moody and snappy etc. I've made a huge effort to ensure he's in bed by 10 otherwise he would be still batting around at half past midnight this is totally in line with most of his friends' bedtimes so he's not hard done by despite what he says

I've just been cleaning his room- he knew I was planning on doing it today but as he was late leaving for school AGAIN I presume he forgot to hide his spare phone complete with ear buds as it was on his bed.

Ffs no wonder he has been so knackered if he's on that until all hours

What would you do if this was your son so I can plan what to do?

I want to go batshit crazy as he's been horrendous to live with as he's been so snappy and tired but obviously won't do that...yet.

OK well that was said later wasnt it?

No, my fourth post, very early on in the thread mentions it's simless phone.

lol@ crap weed dealer using smoke signals and in bed at 10 pm

DD (14) used to do this. She too was always tired, snappy - sometimes up on FB til 3am!! Now phone is put in the hallway at night. Her bedtime is between 9-9.15pm. Way earlier than all her friends but she likes sleeping and it keeps her on good form for school (whereas most of her friends turn up knackered having gone to bed at midnight). 10pm is fine for your ds.

He's 15! if u let him have his phone at night for longer he will start to develop a routine of putting it away earlier.

He is 19 now this is a zombie thread from 2016
