Our teenage daughter - now 16 has been going to bed later and later on non-school nights. The trend started a few years ago when she was going to bed around 1Am. But its gotten to 7 AM now, this morning I passed her going to bed at 7:45 when I was getting up. I emphasise she doesnt go out - just sits and watches TV as far as I know and on school nights she is generally lights out by 1 Am or so.
My wife has always maintained 'this is normal' and 'all her friends are doing it' but I am sure this in nonsense, and I am really worried about the effect on our our younger daughter who is now old enough to be affected by this. What are your feelings?
