Do you have a device that supports night shift? I wonder if using that feature could work to your advantage in re bedtime. (I'm just a childless person speculating, but wouldn't that be grand?)

That's really thoughtful, thanks for sharing.

That might help a bit. But it's more about simply not wanting to stop what he's doing and move on to bedtime chores.

Reflecting a bit more. I don't think it's a struggle with addiction. I think it's a struggle between being in control and having to do what dad says.
