6.5yo sneaked screen time in the middle of the night.

Our 6.5yo values screen time above all other play time, so it's typically our go-to to withhold when we need to discipline. We have some pretty strict screen-time rules too--they each get one hour of chosen screen time (between TV/kid-phone) a day as long as any schoolwork/chores/family meals/whatever are finished.So, our oldest lost his screen time yesterday, so he was bummed he got neither TV nor phone time. And last night I plugged in the 'kid-phone' in our office charging station in anticipation of randomly needing it at my work today (needed a phone with a headphone jack for the Square hardware, my iPhone doesn't have a phone jack, this is totally unimportant I realize). This morning, my partner goes to wake up our boys for school and finds...the dead phone under the covers. We found it after they left for school.Essentially, 6.5 yo woke up in the middle of the night, left his room to get the phone, brought it back to his room and played the fully-charged phone until it died. This morning he was noticeably tired/irritable/pouty and we didn't think anything of it until we found the phone and realized he got little sleep last night.We're pretty irritated (and frankly, secretly kind of amused--come on, kid, hide the evidence better!!) and we're trying to figure out how to teach him about 'sneaking' and 'lying' and accountability. He's furious with us since we took away the phone permanently. Any parents have success/stories about teaching their kids accountability and honesty?
