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! 😫😫😫

This is quite difficult. At the one hand there's little use in going to bed before you have a chance of sleeping, and on the other hand many young people nowadays get too little sleep because they remain hooked up to social media much later than they ought to: It's hard to get any sleep when your body is waiting for another pling from your phone. The problem in this case isn't really that your aunt tries to help you with your sleep rhythm, but that she does it in such a military fashion. From your other posts, I assume that "or else" may involve parts of your anatomy, and a scorching bottom is of little help when you are trying to get some sleep.
