“Can’t they go to bed much earlier.”
Some teenage boys have what amounts to a sleep disorder. They *can*not* go to sleep early, and, no matter what time they go to bed, waking up early is agony. (And no, that’s not hyperbole. I’d rather get into the ring with Mike Tyson than go through that again.)
That’s sort of a problem I have. If I go to sleep before 10pm, I’m awake before 1am. I just can’t stay asleep if I go to bed too early.
