Same here. I surfed the internet and played computer games until 1 or 2 AM every night, and then spent a lot of time in junior high and high school nodding out in class.

I really learned almost nothing, which isn't the fault of my teachers or anyone else. I would have been better off in a radically less structured educational environment, something as simple as being put in a room alone with some books and an offline computer for 4 hours a day, with long breaks in between to exercise and socialize.

I am, and mine is 7 years old. I have noticed a change in his morning routine that seems irreversible.

Previously he woke around 5am, but now it is after 7am every day.

As someone that is definitely not a morning person, I think I am starting to rub off.

Likewise for me. Upon starting college (and getting rid of morning classes), I found I slept better (and longer), had less migraines, and retained information better with less effort.
