Sick of the playstation at all hours

[Itsallmakingsense]

I know it's my fault, I know i should have control of the situation. I know teenagers are mostly night owls and want to stay up and push the boundaries
My son is 14. He likes to play fortnite and fifa with his mates. He has unlimited access to it as it gives him something to do during the winter , after school. During the summer he is out every night with friends on bikes, playing man hunt etc.

But the nights are getting later and later. He will come off when I ask him to but reluctantly.

My main issue is what time his friends are allowed to play on it .

For example right now , none of them have been on with him tonight
Someone has just asked him to go on and play fifa at 11pm. We have all just come up to bed and I also have a younger child who wants to go straight to sleep.
Told him no, now it's all kicked off and we are the worst parents in the world. But we need sleep!!
On a school day we have to be up at 6 and he's saying he's not going to sleep until 1am. 5 hours sleep is not enough. He also keeps me awake as I can hear him talking through the wall.
You see so many tik tok videos saying they can hear their child screeching on the games console at 2am. Why is this allowed to happen?
Because my kids friends parents let them do what the hell they want i have to be the bad guy!!
I've resorted to turning the Internet off

DS 14 and 15 here. Both v sporty so spend a lot of time outside and active.
All gaming stops by midnight during weekend/holidays and 10pm otherwise.
Two days each week gaming free, including holidays. No gaming on any school night until tomorrow's homework is finished.
We haven't had to resort to blocking devices or internet but would if the rules were being ignored (and would probably make those rules stricter in that case)

When our DS was 15ish he was allowed to stay on his playstation in the holidays and weekends, school days it was off by 9. He used to stay on until the small hours eg 2.30 am etc. He was quiet though. I didn't like it that much but his mates were doing it and I felt the school days limit was the most impossible thing - pick your battles and all that.
He's now 17 and he has got over all that now and goes to bed by 11 at the latest and is up pretty early. He has to be up early for college and he's tired and has also massively matured. Even in the holidays he sticks to the same pattern. He still plays on it but not that much really at all. He does have a girlfriend though and I hear him chatting to her on his phone before going to sleep so maybe this is a factor too.
Anyway, I'd suggest limiting it on school days and letting him get on with it at weekends and holidays as long as he stays quiet and doesn't keep you awake - I'd say that is the deal. Any noise and it's off.

"My main issue is what time his friends are allowed to play on it"

If you're putting no boundaries in, you're contributing to this problem, as his friends will all be saying 'but he's aloud on it this late!'
Put your boundaries in, and stick to them. May well be that his friends parents are all having the same thoughts at home, and someone putting their foot down and setting a time limit will empower the others to do the same.

If you've got their numbers, it may be wise to give them a head up once you've had a chat with your son, and just say 'hey, just wanted to let you know that, after a few weeks of very disrupted sleep, we've decided that CHILD won't be allowed on the playstation after 10pm. Just wanted to let you know as your child has been on the playstation quite late too, so want to make sure the message reached them that our child won't be on after 10pm'.
