midnight curfews just train kids to hide their screen time better lol, but at least it forces them offline when their brains actually need sleep so maybe the nanny state got one right.

A midnight curfew makes sense when studies show teens sleeping after 1am report 40% higher anxiety rates. Anyone claiming teens need unlimited night access isn't looking at the actual sleep science here.

Sleep science backs this completely. Teens losing midnight scrolling gain better rest and focus at school, which matters for their development and grades.
