The 2am Scroll: A Sleep Reset for the New Term
It's not laziness and it's not a phase. Over the summer, bedtimes creep later most nights without anyone deciding it should happen, and a body clock doesn't snap back just because school does. The result is a household that's tired, snappy and unfocused, often for longer than parents expect.
This handout explains why the adjustment takes as long as it does, names the specific habits stretching bedtime later (autoplay, group chats, endless feeds), and sets out a gradual routine to bring it back, rather than a lights-out ultimatum that lasts one night.
What's inside:
- A plain explanation of why the first fortnight back is the hardest
- The three habits most likely to be keeping a phone lit past bedtime
- A four-step reset built around small, sustainable shifts rather than a single hard cutoff
