[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 684756, member: 1963"] What I did when job-hunting was make that my job. I'd jobhunt from 8AM to 5PM M-F (I worked in IT, so the hiring managers were in during business hours.) A lot of what I did was networking, but there was some cold-calling at the like. Admittedly, I wasn't dropping off resumes and going to cattle-calls when I was in management, but I did my share in my teens when looking for work. I'd still set a curfew with bedtimes and wake up times. Make job-hunting his job. If nothing else, it'll start getting him used to having to be up at a certain time, do things at a certain time, etc. And as an adult (it's impossible during adolescence) you can change your sleep schedule. I've managed to change from going to bed at 5AM and getting up at noon, to going to bed around midnight and getting up around 7:30. Took a long time, and I'm on medication,which I wouldn't recommend for your son at all, but it can be done. [/QUOTE]
