Present Perfect Continuous VS Present Simple

Hi, guys! How are you?

I have some doubts here with translating one sentence from Russian to English, to be more exact if I need to use Present Perfect Continuous or Present Simple in it. Here is the idea itself: "Recently, my son has been going to bed really late. I'm worried that he isn't getting enough sleep these days." So does the first sentence sound correct and give you the idea that let's say a month ago my son changed his sleeping habits and he started falling asleep at 2 a.m. instead of healthy 10 p.m. and he did this again nearly every day since then and hasn't stopped doing it? 

If I say "Recently, my son goes to bed really late. I'm worried that he isn't getting enough sleep these days.", does this sentence sound correct to you? If so, does it give the same idea as the previous one with Present Perfect Continuous?

Answers from everyone will be appreciated but I'm especially interested in native speakers' opinion on this.

Thanks! Have a good time, everyone!

Present Perfect Continuous

Hi, guys! How are you?

I have some doubts here with translating one sentence from Russian to English, to be more exact if I need to use Present Perfect Continuous or something different in it. Here is the idea itself: "Recently, my son has been going to bed really late. I'm worried that he isn't getting enough sleep these days." So does the first sentence give you the idea that let's say a month ago my son changed his sleeping habits and he started falling asleep at 2 a.m. instead of healthy 10 p.m. and he did this again two weeks ago, a week ago too and 2 days ago and today, etc.? Or it gives you some other idea after reading?
