Dudette, my daughter of 13 is also battling, I put her to bed at 9 and then she reads. Lights out by 9.30, but then also just lies there and sometimes at 10.30 she is still awake. During the week in fact 2 nights Monday and Wednesday she is allowed to stay up until 10 because of a program she watches on TV but then she is not allowed to read before going to sleep - lights out straight away.
