It normally takes me a couple of months to adjust to the hour forward and back thing, which I am not in favour of as a tradition in that it rather messes up my routine.
I have Psychogenic Non Epileptic Seizures which basically means having stress induced seizures ~ so missing sleep and routine changes tends to make things difficult in that respect, hence I go to bed half an hour later or earlier depending upon the season to incrementally change rather than break the previous sleeping pattern.
Maybe as time goes on and your son's personal responsibility develops along with your trust in him to be responsible ~ the familial patterns of interaction and transaction will blend and merge quite amenably to become more a matter of parental pride regarding his reliability; rather than so much being a matter of great concern or worry ~ perhaps?
