## Guides
- [How Much Sleep Teens Need and How Phones Interfere](https://bedtime-phone.pages.dev/teen-sleep-needs-phones/): Teenagers need a consistent sleep schedule, and keeping a phone beside the bed can make winding down more difficult.
- [Setting a Curfew Your Teen Helped Write](https://bedtime-phone.pages.dev/teen-phone-curfew-agreement/): A teen phone curfew agreement works best when parents and teenagers agree on the timing, reasons, exceptions, and consequences together.
- [Alarm Clocks That Replace the Phone Beside the Bed](https://bedtime-phone.pages.dev/alarm-clock-instead-of-phone-teens/): An alarm clock instead of phone teens use can help separate waking up from late-night phone activity.
- [Exceptions: Exams, Emergencies and Family Events](https://bedtime-phone.pages.dev/phone-curfew-exceptions/): Phone curfew exceptions should be limited to specific situations, such as exam preparation, genuine emergencies, and important family events.
- [What to Do If a Teen Keeps Breaking the Night Rule](https://bedtime-phone.pages.dev/teen-breaks-phone-curfew/): When a teen breaks phone curfew, parents should first establish what happened, identify the reason, and address the specific problem rather than immediately.
