honestly a midnight curfew just makes sense because teens need sleep and social media keeps them up all night anyway. i watched my cousin literally doom scroll until 3am on a school night.

Obviously teens need sleep and screen time limits work, so why are people acting like basic bedtime rules are tyranny? This is just common sense health policy. W take honestly.

honestly people act like a midnight curfew is tyranny when it's just basic sleep hygiene. i stayed up scrolling until 3am last week and felt like garbage, so maybe some structure isn't the worst thing for us.

Honestly this is such a W take because my mate got better sleep after midnight and now he's doing brilliant in school. Teens absolutely need this curfew for their own good.

Teens need sleep, not endless scroll binges at 2am. Anyone arguing against a midnight cutoff is basically defending zombie teenagers and their parents' sanity getting sacrificed on the altar of algorithm addiction.

imagine the sleep your kid could've had if their phone died at midnight, but instead you chose endless scrolls and ruined futures. shouldn't we want teenagers actually resting?
