I used to be until 2am because I had a TV in my room and needed to watch Letterman every night. I don't know if my parents knew that but I did great in school so I don't know if they would care. If my grades suffered it would be the first thing to change.
That started some bad sleep habits for me though. If I had kids there would be no screens in their bedrooms during sleeping hours. Not enough rest is a killer.
