We did not tell our sons that they had to go to sleep. We told them they had to go to bed and be quiet. There were no fights and they were down for the count within 15 minutes.
As kids we had glow-in-the-dark stars and comets on our ceiling. It was very relaxing to lay back and see the heavens and may have been the seed for my obsession with astronomy and space.

Tell him something about when you first started dating. That should do it.

Must not have a computer or TV in his room! Good!

Make him stay up all night. He’ll sleep like a log for the next week and respect his bedtime ever after.

How about a butt that glows in the dark? That would help him “get interested”.
