19:31	Maya	Hi, Night Owls! I've got an idea for a challenge, and please don't laugh. What if we all switched our phones off in the evenings? Just for one week, starting tomorrow.	0:12
19:33	Finn	Switch our phones off? For a whole week? No way, Maya! If I didn't have my phone for a week, I'd be bored out of my mind. Did your mum tell you to do this?	0:14
19:35	Maya	No, it's my own idea! And not all day, Finn. Only from eight o'clock until the next morning. The thing is, I'm always tired. Last week, I watched videos until midnight, and I nearly fell asleep in a history test.	0:16
19:37	Jade	Oh, I know that feeling. I'm tired all the time, too. OK, but a challenge needs points! You get one point for every evening without your phone. And if you do something new instead, you get a bonus point.	0:15
19:39	Leo	I'm in! And here's the prize: if we get thirty points together, we'll have a pizza night at my house. My dad makes the best pizza in town.	0:11
19:41	Finn	Pizza? I don't even like pizza! And falling asleep in a test? That happens to me every week. But bonus points? Now you're talking, I love points. OK, grand, you've persuaded me. I'm in!	0:14
19:43	Maya	Yay, thanks, guys! One more rule: at eight o'clock, we put our phones in the kitchen, not next to our beds. Remember, the challenge starts tomorrow evening!	0:12
19:44	Jade	Last free evening, Night Owls! geschrieben	–

19:40	Jade	Hi, Night Owls! Two evenings without my phone, and I've already got two bonus points. On Monday, I baked bread with my grandma, and last night, I learned to knit. I'm making a scarf for my cat!	0:14
19:42	Leo	Knitting? Respect, Jade! Honestly, Monday was really hard for me. At half past eight, I nearly went to the kitchen to check my phone. So I started doing push-ups instead. Fifty of them!	0:14
19:43	Jade	Nice try, Leo, but push-ups aren't something new. You do them every day after football! So no bonus point for you.	0:09
19:45	Finn	Fair enough. For me, Monday was easy, I was asleep by ten. But last night, I kept looking at the kitchen door. I really wanted my phone! So I played cards with my little sister. We used to play every evening in Ireland.	0:17
19:47	Maya	Aw, that's sweet, Finn. I've read sixty pages of my new book! I used to read every night when I was little, and I'd forgotten how much I love it. And I've slept so well.	0:14
19:48	Leo	OK, I've counted. Together, we've got ten points. Only twenty more for the pizza night! Twelve minutes left, Night Owls. Enjoy your phones!	0:10

We need a new rule

19:35	Leo	Guys, I nearly missed my football match this afternoon! Last night at nine, the coach moved it from five o'clock to half past three. I didn't see his message, because my phone was off in the kitchen.	0:14
19:37	Maya	Oh no, Leo! So how did you find out? Did you get there in time?	0:06
19:38	Leo	Only just! At three o'clock, a friend from my team saw me in the library and shouted: Leo, why are you still here? Run! So I ran all the way to the pitch.	0:13
19:40	Jade	Something like that happened to me, too. Last night at nine, my mum sent me a message from work, and I didn't answer. She got really worried. Honestly, maybe we should just stop the challenge.	0:14
19:42	Maya	Stop? No way, Jade! We've got fifteen points already. But you're right, our families and our coaches need to reach us. What if we checked our messages once every evening?	0:14
19:44	Finn	Good idea, Maya. Here's my plan: phones stay off after eight, but at nine, everyone can switch on for five minutes. Only messages from family or the team. No videos, no games. Deal?	0:14
19:46	Jade	OK, that's fair. Everything else stays the same: one point for every evening, and the phones stay in the kitchen. Deal!	0:08

19:45	Maya	We did it, Night Owls! Thirty-two points, so it's pizza night at Leo's! Honestly, this was the best week in ages. I've slept so much better. So, shall we do it again next month?	0:15
19:47	Finn	Hmm, I have to tell you something. On Saturday, I switched my phone on for the football results. Sorry, guys! To be honest, I really missed my phone. But I've started playing the guitar again, and my dad says it sounds great.	0:16
19:49	Jade	Don't worry, Finn. We've still got more than thirty. For me, the worst part was the evenings without this chat. But my mum loves the challenge. She says I'm much nicer at breakfast now!	0:13
19:51	Leo	My parents want to try it too! They say if we can do it, they can do it. And I'm keeping the nine o'clock check, by the way. Pizza night is on Saturday at seven!	0:13
19:53	Jade	So, again next month, Maya? Hmm, I don't think so. One evening a week is enough for me. Maybe Sundays.	0:09
19:55	Maya	One evening a week? Come on, Jade! Just one more week next month. And I'll make you a cake for every evening without your phone.	0:10
19:57	Jade	A cake every evening? You know me too well, Maya. All right, then. One more week. But no bonus points for push-ups!	0:09

19:30	Jade	Hi, Night Owls! Our second challenge week is over, and guess what? This time, I didn't miss my phone at all. I can't believe it! Thanks for all the cakes, Maya. Let's go bowling on Saturday to celebrate. Not at three, because Finn has his guitar lesson. Let's meet at the bowling alley at four. See you there!	0:22
