A teenager will sleep the entire day away if you let them (speaking as a mom of a 16 yr old son too). I'm pretty certain if don't allow your son to sleep past 8 or 9am he will fall asleep faster at nighttime. I think setting a consistent pattern of night time and morning awakenings will result in a decrease of sleep onset insomnia.
