I still can’t believe the bedtime abolition people aren’t doing a bit.
One does not exclude the other. While it is true that kids, as well as adults now we’re at it, doesn’t get enough sleep because of some weird protestant idea that it is morally virtuous to get up so early in the morning it causes you pain, it is also true that kids benefit from routines and that disrupting their circadian rhythm causes them to be tired and irritable the next day.
What about bedtimes that respects the individual needs of the child?
At this point I just naturally assume everything is a bit
Gives you quite the resistance to psychic damage
As a nocturnal person, the solution to sleep deprivation isn’t rigid bedtime enforcement, it’s making our social organizations more flexible wrt time.
There’s nothing anyone could do that could make me operate on normal people’s schedules for long stretches of time. You can’t just shoehorn neurodiverse people into neurotypical patterns.
Seems to me our work and thus school scheduling is determined by capital interests at the detriment of development & learning. How many kids would choose to wake up at 6am for school if there was any other option?
