SINGAPORE — A teenager repeatedly punched his mother so forcefully that her lip started bleeding and she suffered a fractured rib. Later, he took a chopper, held it near her chest and threatened to kill the woman.

The teen also had poor sleep habits. After school, he would sleep till 8pm or 9pm then wake to play mobile games and do his homework until the wee hours. This left him sleepy at school.
