Bedtime for a 14 year old Teen?

Question

I am a 14 and a half year old Teen Boy. My current bedtime is 11:00 on school nights. But i dont think that is fair because i am more mature then most 14 year old boys. I was thinking somethign like 1:00.

I always get up on time for school.(7:00) But i always fall asleep around 1:30.

So i am laying in bed for 2 and a half hours staring at the ceiling. Is that bad for my health? What should be my bedtime.

Answer 1

If you wake up on your own at 7am and that is when you need to get up then you should go to sleep later than 11pm I read another blog from Sept 2009 of a 14 year old that went to bed at 7:30 pm and was asleep by 8pm and woke up naturally by 6pm so all boys your age are different. You know your body so you should have control over your bedtime as long as you can get up on time.
