Bedtime for 15 yp

What time is your 15yo going to bed? Mine is constantly exhausted - lights out 1030 but he gets up 645 on school days (he doesn’t leave the house until 8 but wants to get up early).

It’s the major battleground between us and it’s hard seeing him like a zombie. He insists on not going to bed earlier and I think he does struggle to sleep earlier. No phone in his room usually…

Any ideas?

I second Vit D. My DD is same age and was the same, it was a nightmare. Even worse around growth spurts. DDs Vit D level was 40 so not too bad but I ended up ordering the 10,000IU Vit D from British supplements and that helped a lot. Anything lower takes so long to work. I also got her magnesium from there and that's done wonders to her quality of sleep. She's like a different child now.
