I think most people have an internal clock about going to bed and waking up. I have always been someone who gets up early and goes to bed early...it's just my nature
DH, on the other hand, could easily say up until 3 or 4 in the morning and then sleep until 1. That's how his body functions. Luckily he has a job where he gets to work from home, but he still tries to be at his desk around 10 am or so.
At this point, esp. for your older one, maybe remind her that she is able to go to bed when she wants, but she also has to deal with the concequences of staying up all night. Don't go and wake her up. If she's late for work, it's her problem. Maybe get her this alarm clock:

But as someone mentioned before, kids eventually figure this stuff out. You just can't make it easy for them
