Pupils who read all night long may be very sleepy in school on the next day.

A useful function for Sugar could be a scheduled "Lights out" time as in a boarding school.
The function probably would have to use the school server as a time server.

During the night the laptop could refuse to display anything but a clock.

The laptop could also have a defined amount of "book time" during which the
laptop would only be usable as a book.

== Exceptions ==

Pupils could be allowed to use the laptop at night during a limited number of exceptions.
[[Mentoring|Mentors]] should be able to monitor exceptions in order to be able to discuss potential problems.
Night-time use of the laptop can be used as a scarce resource and be used to train responsible use.
(A psychological effect of prohibiting night-time use entirely could be to make it artifically interesting instead.)

== Parent cooperation ==

Such a function could also be used to invite parents into a cooperative decision making process about parenting
in order to define a common standard for a class: The parents are asked to agree on a common "Lights out" time
for all children in a class; the time can require adjustment every year.
