Teenagers need a lot of fuel, especially when they are working hard in school. My own kids, boys and a girl, came/come home from school and essentially eat a meal for a “snack”. School lunches don’t fill them up and depending on when they eat, they are just ready for another meal. They will have a frozen pizza each, for example, for an after school snack. We eat dinner around 6:00 PM, so about 3 hours after their snack.

The sleep thing, if it works for him it works for him, BUT it’s NOT working if he is trying to get out of chores, that seem to be a high priority at your house. Don’t back down on that. If he doesn’t like it, he needs to adjust.
