You decide to explore his sleep in more detail, after hearing that all the children are in one bedroom.

Open Question

What questions would you ask?

Jackson’s parents tell you that he watches the TV in his bedroom until between 1-2am most days. His older brother is often awake using his tablet until similar times. His younger sister falls asleep much earlier. Jackson has to be woken at 7am to get ready for school.

Open Question

What might be the adverse effects of this behaviour on the boys?
