yeah, but in the case of kids, it's best to just talk to them instead of micromanaging them with technology.  My son was a gamer and i'd tell him that he should turn it off and give his mind a rest before going to bed.  I even let him play up until bedtime so he knew i was right. his mind was still racing and it was hard to get to sleep.
