Is it ok for teenage boys to sleep till 1 pm? No food intake for 15 hours ok?
Question:
Answers:
Let them sleep..the body has it's own clock and will wake your son when it needs food. Forced feeding will only lead to obesity. Make sure that he has food available. I mean, don't punish him by making him wait if he has slept through a meal. You might look into the possibility that he has "night owl syndrome". My son does and if I had known there was such a thing during his school years he probably would not have had to deal with the taunting from his teachers and classmates. If you are concerned about his health, maybe it is time for a trip to the doctor.

Let them sleep - stop bugging them.
Yes wake them up. Why would a 15 year old be laying in bed until 1 PM? By skipping meals you are starving your body, when you do eat your body holds onto the fat. So you begin to gain weight. Three meals a day or 6 small meals a day is best.
LET HIM SLEEP HE WILL FIND THAT HIS BODY WILL TELL HIM WHEN HE NEEDS FOOD
im 19. im working. sometimes i dont eat the whole day, play some pc games, sleep at 4 am goes back to work at 10. im still alive.
my bro sleeps in till the afternoon as well. i think best for their health is to get them to have breakfast. doesn't matter if they get grumpy, their health is more important and should be placed at top priority. you should probably explain to them why you're doing so-if they are pissed at you, which they probably will be. =)
You shouldn't have abused thier father. Now eat what you have made for yourself.
Yes, according to recent research it is perfectly natural for teenage boys to sleep for very long periods. Of course it's not ok if your son goes to sleep in the middle of the night because then he's shifting his day, like a permanent jetlag. It was recently discovered that teenage brains don't really work untill the afternoon and that it would be better to let them start school around 1 pm, since they're more alert around that time. How much sleep a child needs also depends on the child. I got this information from the Dutch magazine "Intermediair" which is a business magazine for university students. Hope it helped.
