My parents tried the iron fist approach: i had to wake up by a certain time on saturdays and sundays or they would ban me from using the computer. If I missed the bus for sleeping too late, no computer. Needless to say that this didn't work -- I just stayed up until they were asleep and used the computer then.
The salient feature of my adolescence was a grueling and protracted war with my parents over school performance vs. computer usage/sleep habits. Makes me wonder how things would have turned out if I'd learned about DSPS when I was maybe 14 or something.
