Depriving teenagers of sleep is a form of abuse, intended to teach them to accept the abuse to their body that a job will likely do later in life. Don't be accepting of it. Don't let them tell you obedience is right.

Oh yeah, come home from school, do homework, go to bed, go to school. Repeat for years. It's not like people need free time in their lives or anything, certainly not during one of the most stressful deveplomental staged there is.

Ah the workload of a teenager. Absolutely no freetime. Lol

During puberty, youth undergo a shift in their circadian clocks that makes it harder for them to fall asleep until later in the night. Meanwhile, they can stay awake longer before experiencing an increase in the pressure to sleep

More to the original point, you don't need a bunch of scientists with lab coats and clipboards to tell you teenagers don't sleep well on an early schedule, you could just ask one. Not to mention the homework load etc....

I was one. Most of the time I was awake late because I thought there was more important shit to be done. I definitely could've gone to bed earlier.

Duuuuude, you're talking as if all teachers are in on this conspiracy theory just to make sure we all become slaves.

[–] scott@lemmy.org 4 points 1 day ago

Teachers are mostly just kind people doing there best and I meant no implication to the contrary. The school system is fucked though and making kids lose sleep is part of it.
