people who think teens will magically sleep better without this are delusional, like their parents actually monitor anything anyway. a midnight cutoff is literally the bare minimum of actual parenting.

used to think teens could self regulate. watched my younger cousin's sleep schedule completely destroyed by 3am scrolling. this curfew actually makes sense for their health.

Look, we've seen how late night scrolling wrecks teen sleep cycles historically, and that pattern keeps repeating today. Wouldn't protecting their actual rest be worth a midnight boundary? Yeah exactly this.

A midnight curfew actually protects the advertising-industrial complex's most vulnerable targets during peak manipulation hours. Isn't regulating when corporations can monetize adolescent attention just basic consumer protection?

Look, teenagers need sleep and studies show 73 percent of UK teens are chronically exhausted. A midnight cutoff is literally the bare minimum for basic health. Yeah exactly this.

Look, the real issue is sleep deprivation from late-night scrolling, and studies show teens sleeping better with earlier cutoffs. This directly addresses documented mental health impacts.
