Why is that the adults in my family are so against sleeping in? Like I slept in today because we had NO plans and I’m getting lectured by my grandmother and she saying “sleeping is going to ruin my life” and that she’s “trying to help me be more mature”

“Sleeping is going to ruin your life” it is up there alongside food and water as far as things that will ruin your life if you don’t get enough of it 😭

Genuinely get as much sleep as you need and if you’re sleeping excessively or feeling extra tired def bring it up to your doctor cause it could be an iron or b12 deficiency

When I spend time at my parents house I sleep in and they get so upset at me. And by sleeping in I mean 8-9am. Then they grill me and say I’m lying when I wake up at 5:30am on a work/school day.

Literally. And I’m still technically a teenager. We all know that most teens tend to sleep in more. I don’t understand why adults can’t just let us be.

My dad was like that and now years after moving out I still can’t feel comfortable relaxing and sleeping in on days off. Like I feel guilty for not being productive

like there’s a lot of more day left for me, you’re the ones who gts at 10pm so it makes sense that you’d wake up before 9. i gts at like 1-2am. sorry but 7 hours is NOT enough sleep for me.

I still live w my parents and that’s how it usually is. They both have jobs (I don’t yet) and all I have to do during the summer is my chores (which take long). Even when I visit my grandparents house they don’t do much.
