oh dear woman of dulwich, i'm thirty and my brother is twenty-seven and we were like this as teenagers and still are exactly the same! my Dad used to get us up by pulling off the duvet covers and singing morning songs while we shivered exposed in our beds, such a terrible way to wake up! like your son, we resist bed at all costs at night and then nothing is nicer than bed in the morning, impossible to get out! it's a real problem, it's made us late to school, late to Uni, late to work. . .the only time I can manage it is when I will absolutely be fired if I don't get out of bed, so for 6am job starts or something! i'd say, go with SteveT's advice and leave him to it, he'll soon be dragging himself out of bed when school's telling him he's not going to graduate if he's absent/late again! i suppose that'll just come back to you though until he's out on his own at Uni! good luck!
