- dylanz 4y agoLights off at 9pm? That’s not how most teenagers work. I used to read until midnight most nights.
- ceejayoz 4y agoMy kids haven’t yet wondered how the Kindles they hide under their pillows have never run out of charge.
- crooked-v 4y agoGiven the evidence pointing at teenagers having a different biological clock, that just gets you a bunch of insomniacs sneaking out anyway.
- jimbob45 4y agoYou’re right but no one wants to admit it. It’s just like how computers have become orders of magnitude faster over the years, yet end users feel none of it because we use every new cycle we can squeeze out. Likewise, if you give kids more hours, they’ll fill them with more extracurriculars or computer time.

- thewebcount 4y agoYeah, like that would work. My parents weren’t completely unreasonable about bedtimes but did require us to go to bed by something like 10 or 11PM so we didn’t keep them up all night with our noise. I would then lie in bed staring at the ceiling until I fell asleep at 2AM. Nothing I was able to do would help me fall asleep sooner. Then I’d just barely wake up at 6AM and drag my ass into the shower. I’d basically sleep through first and second hour. Our lunch started at something ridiculous like 10AM. My body couldn’t make heads or tails of it and my circadian rhythms were totally fucked for the next 4 to 8 years. Luckily I have a sane job now and haven’t set an alarm in about 20 years.
