I hate Daylight at 9PM. Kids need to go to bed because guess what? we still need to get up early and this staying up later isn't helping at all.

- JustSomeNobody 10y agoBlackout curtains. We ended up going to a fabric store and bying the material so we could make our own the exact size we needed. It helps a lot. (And helps keep some of the summer heat out).
- optimuspaul 10y agoWe have those, but getting the kids to the bedroom is still a big challenge, especially when they are outside playing and the sun is out. "it's getting dark" doesn't work. DST is a shortsighted solution to what is not even a problem in my opinion. Why don't the people who hate sunrise at 4am get blackout curtains and leave the rest of us alone. Dealing with sun in the morning is far easier than sun at bedtime.
- wiredfool 10y agoI'm in Ireland. There's light on the north horizon at midnight. It's daylight till 10ish. It's hell with a 6 yr old. He hasn't seen darkness in a couple of months. And the older kids still want to stay up till 11.
- StavrosK 10y agoWhy is the bedtime cue "it's getting dark" rather than "it's bedtime"?
- mixmastamyk 10y agoKids don't care about bedtime one bit.
