I know what you mean... My boys used to be very active & got adequate sleep until we got coerced into bringing in a game system into our house & Wii Sports. They tricked us - got our relatives to buy various games & have been avid gamers ever since. Finally got fed up - got a good router with ability to set up accounts and schedules, which alleviated most of the headaches we were having. Prior to doing that they would be gaming the second they got home from school and past their bedtime. This messed up their circadian rhythm (because of the blue light), and then they'd have trouble falling asleep & would be sleep deprived by the time the alarm went off to get ready for school. Sometimes we'd have to wake them up, because they wouldn't hear the alarm, and they would be absolute grouches. So glad we got the new router - it made a huge difference - now my younger son's playing football, getting his homework done, and socializing with his friends, instead of just gaming all the time. Other son has graduated & moved out on his own, but he's starting to get out there instead of gaming all the time, too.
