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! 😫😫😫

Try to follow her guidelines knowing it might be hard at first to get to sleep. Eventually you’ll adjust, as long as you keep the times consistent. You probably already know this but avoid any food or beverages with caffeine for several hours before bedtime. I know, it’s annoying but your aunt cares and is trying to help.
