Listen, this user is a terminally online anarchist who complains about tankies and calls Stalin genocidal. But shes correct about this one. Mostly. I mean using the term “bedtime abolition” sounds dumb but Im pretty sure she only did that because its a common joke about anarchists. The core point is about how 9-5 work schedules dont work for everyone. As an ND person who struggles with culturally normal sleep schedules, I absolutely agree that society needs to accomodate these things. I absolutely agree that its literally normal talk everyone says that work schedules suck.

People saying “just go to bed on time” or “just pop a melatonin” have never been in the position of trying to do that and failing, just laying awake for hours until you finally fall asleep two hours before you need to be up.

    She’s right about what she’s saying but I don’t really see how it relates to “bedtime abolition.” Like I feel completely the same about sleep schedules. I dropped out of high school primarily because I could not fucking handle being on a consistent daytime schedule every day, week after week. I got third shift / overnight jobs and I’m much, much healthier now. I get actual sleep now. Some people just aren’t built for the 9-5.

    But what the fuck does that have to do with parents making their kids get to sleep at a reasonable time relative to their responsibilities lol

      I think she uses the term “bedtime abolition” because its a joke used at anarchist expense. Like ive actually seen the post this was triggered by which would probably have been helpful context.
