Is there such a thing as insomnia in teens?


My 13 year old will not go to sleep at night. Her bed time is 10:30 and her alarm is set for 6:30 in the morning. But she stays up as late as 1:00am and will snooze in the mornings as late as 7:30am. Then I learned that she was taking her cell phone to bed and was texting. Specifically she was texting a boy. I check her cell phone and there are texts from 11pm until 1am. So then I told her that her cell phone goes in the living room on the charger at bedtime.

Now she goes to bed with her Kindle. She listens to audio books until the battery dies with ear buds in. When I go by her room she has her sheet all the way over her head. I just assumed that she was sleeping. But this morning when she did not make her bed before school I went in her room and there it was. The kindle with ear buds attached.
I normally wouldn't care. Only two more weeks left in school. But next year she will be in high school and her mornings will start at 6:00am and will leave no room for snoozing. If there is a such thing as insomnia in teens at least I have the summer to look into a solution. That or start making bed time an device free time. Maybe she will be too bored to stay awake.

Will physical books ever go extinct?


because of the rise of electronic devices?

im poor and do not own any of these electronic reader books, and anyway i prefer the good old fashioned paper books.plus you can't beat the smell of physical books and the feel of them.

i only possess a few books, but im wanting to build up on my collection… It saddens me the thought of real books going extinct in this lifetime because of e books.

Kindle Fire isn't working?


I have the first kindle fire and it won't turn on anymore or charge after I reset the whole tablet. I have tried many methods such as holding the power button for 20 seconds and turning it on again, but it either shows a dead battery sign or the on switch button will show an orange power button sign. I have left the kindle charging overnight and it will turn on only showing the kindle fire sign, but when I wake up and press the on switch button again it will show a dead battery sign or the kindle screen will turn light grey. I need to know what is happening with the tablet because I use it for school.

How to fix force closing Wifi on K-Fire?

So, I use my kindle for everthing. I love it, and now, I can't access the internet. I am currently offline because everytime I click the gear at top, and select wifi, it has to force close. It says:
"The application QuickSettings (process com.lab126.otter) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Then I have to click "Force close."
I usually have a static IP on, and I am within the range of the static. I earlier left my house and tried to connect to a different network, (Which wasn't my static,) and when I do this I have to turn off static and then off with wifi, turn it back on, and connect to new Network.
This usually works, and when I get home I just switch on static and connect.
When I got back home earlier today, tapped on gear, then wifi, but now it just force closes as stated above. (I am not currently or able to connect to the wifi app at all, so of course I don't have wi-fi. On my kindle fire.
Another question…
I used to be able to load pictures to Facebook from Gallery… Now I can't? I tried downloading "MediaGrid" But it doesn't show up when I click upload picture from FaceBook.
Please Help. I LOVE MY KINDLE.

If God killed someone for trying to help, does that mean we are supposed to kill missionaires?


(2 Samuel 6:6-7) And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.

All this guy wanted to do was help The Lord, and God ended his life. Does that mean the next time a Christian knocks on my door trying to "Help The Lord" that I get to end their life. Isn't Christianity great?

How to Find The Amazon Account Associated With My Kindle On The Actual Device?


I have two kindles which are linked to the same Amazon account. Unfortunately, when I made my Amazon account I created a totally random email address and never thought about it again, assuming I wouldn't need it. That, as you can imagine, is not the case. I am having some problems with my kindle, and after a little research, I found a way to fix it. However, I have to sign in to the Amazon account my kindle is associated with. Well, isn't that lovely. So, my question is: is there a way to figure out what amazon account is linked to my kindles on the actual kindles or am I doomed? And if so, how?
