You can restrict your child to limit his cell phone usage, by monitoring his cell phone bills. Also, give a particular time at night when he needs to switch his phone and go to bed (you can try giving a ring on his phone after the given time elapses and be strict if he doesn't follow). Also, engage him into the habit of doing physical work like exercising, playing sports during the day which would help him sleep better and early at night due to the tiredness. Also, if he sleeps during the day hours, you can limit his day time naps to let him have a peaceful and timely night's sleep.

Then setting up a time to switch the Cell Phone will be a better option!
