We have a strict rule at our places, phones plugged in downstairs where we charge things before bedtime. The oldest complains fiercely about how much he misses out on frkm 10:30pm to 1am. Our reply is that’s exactly the point why it can’t be in your room.
Honestly we’ve lost the tech war in almost every way except for that one piece. All I can say is I wish we’d have held off longer in letting them get devices and certain acccounts.
