Talk to her before you punish her. Discuss a plan of attack to help her.... and predetermine the punishment...
Ever since I was a baby, and to this day, I have trouble falling asleep... and then a real hard time waking up in the morning. I have my alarm clock on the other side of the room so I have to get up to turn it off.
I would also double check on the smoking... just because she's acted against it.. doesn't mean someone she now likes didn't change her mind....any new boys, friends in her life? Parents don't always know as much as they think they do about their kids. Might be time for a little recon work... do full inspection of her room, back pack, etc.... put a piece of tape on her window to see if she's doing this alot.
I also remember being late on purpose for the bus, because I was severly bullied in school. I couldn't tell my parents because I knew what they would do, and knew that would only make things worse.

I was going to stay out of it---- but!
I agree with Southern Belle, roll'em out.
Also, they are kids, whether they be teenagers or preteens they are kids. Some one needs to be responsible for rollin their behinds out of bed at the right time.
My wife worked, I worked, kids were awaken everyday at the specified time, no alarm clock, either their mother or me took the responsibility, they got ready, and departed for school at the specified time----------PERIOD THE END! It was the same way in my wife's childhood home, and the same way in my childhood home.

For younger children, yes. For teenagers, no.
I try to teach our two boys to be independent. They are to get themselves out of bed on time and get ready for school. If they want a paying job around the farm, it is up to them to show up and actually do the job without me reminding them. If they want to take drivers ed and get a drivers license, it's up to them to call around for info and choose a school. If they can't make it to an extracurricular activity it's up to them to call and say they can't make it. We support them any way we can, but if there is something they can do for themselves, we encourage them to take responsibility and do it themselves.

yup..its different for teens. They NEED to get up by themselves and to school on time..
just like they would have to get up by themselves and go to a job. These are important life skills they need to learn now...while they can, before they hit the real world.

At the ages these girls are in....it is important that they keep their "status" at school...so I voted to pick them up from school...etc...but instead of picking them up...drop them off...at a time you know there are alot of class mates there and embarrass them....they'd make darn sure that they won't miss the bus again....
What worked for my son is to feed/water the chickens EVERY morning EARLY. He doesn't like it but it's his punishment for staying up all night playing wow. OH and the open window/heater in room...bad sign, I'm thinking she's trying to get rid of some sort of smell...not normal for a teen girl to want to freeze. I'm at the end of two kids teen years...my daughter is 21 (been through that secret smoking thing) and my son is 19 now. I do have one more to go through but that will be a while, he's only five.
I would also double check on the smoking... just because she's acted against it.. doesn't mean someone she now likes didn't change her mind....any new boys, friends in her life?
This is SO true...I found a cigarette in my daughters room (she forgot to hide) and I asked her about it. She said it was her friends, I believed her THAT TIME because I KNEW how much she hated the smell of smoke and she would always say how stupid it is to smoke. Here I find out the ones who go off about how bad it is are the ones who are probably doing it. Those girls are pretty good at hiding the smell too...I noticed all of a sudden she started wearing more perfume sprays
When I found another in her pants while washing clothes I didn't buy the friend story after that.

We live at the far end of the school district too and if my daughter missed the bus I made her pay for my gas. Worked like a charm for her, but I guess it would depend on how much money the kid has to begin with. This was when my daughter got $5/week allowance and gas was around $4/gallon.
