[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 397940, member: 1991"] It's growth hormone plus other hormones zinging around. Melatonin too. Seriously - exposure to strong light early in the morning and cutting exposure to strong light by about 9pm is a good start, because it is strong light that 'tells' the pineal gland whether it's day or night, and a teenager's hormones are strongly linked in to the pineal gland and melatonin. So when you get him up - turn on the lights. Let him get onto computer games if it fits with your timetable. But in the evening after 9 pm, better for him to read a book than to play games. Maybe organise a board game with him in the evening instead. Marg [/QUOTE]
