Bedtime and curfew

Speaking of annoying things, let's talk about bedtimes. I mean, seriously, why are they even a thing? I get that I need sleep and all that, but my aunt acts like it’s some kind of law that I have to be in bed at a certain time. And if I’m not, guess what? Yep, another lecture! She’ll start with, “It’s important to get enough sleep,” and then go into a whole thing about how it affects my mood, my schoolwork, and basically my entire life. I’m like, “I know, I know, but sometimes I’m just not tired yet!” But nope, it doesn’t matter. It’s bedtime, and I better be in bed, or else. Ugh, it’s so unfair! 😫😫😫

Tell your aunt that you can't regulate bedtime by the clock. A lot depends on your Circadian rhythms. These change as we go from childhood to puberty and ultimately to adulthood. You still need to average seven hours of sleep a night, but you can't necessarily do that within a rigid timeframe.
