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.

We have the same rule and it's wild how many of his friends have zero boundaries. Every morning he catches up on the group chat that went until 2am. He claims he's the only one in his entire social circle that doesn't require YouTube or a podcast to fall asleep to.
Compounding this issue is teenagers have a natural cycle change that sees a midnight to noon sleep schedule feel more normal. So not only is living on an adult sleep schedule incredibly hard to begin with for teens, now they have the entirety of human entertainment in their hands at all hours. Good luck youths!
