Joanna Fortune: My teenage son's late-night gaming habit is a problem 

"This is one of those situations where if nothing changes, then nothing changes. And something needs to change."

My 15-year-old refuses to stick to a bedtime routine and is often exhausted going to school. He started late-night gaming during the pandemic and has not broken the habit. 

I’ve spoken to him about why sleep is important for his physical and mental health, and it has made no difference. I know I should remove his computer from his bedroom but he needs it for homework. Also, he’d probably have a complete meltdown.
