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.

Much agreed. Though I’m sure timing of sleep matters to some, for me the reality is that I feel tired no matter when I go to bed, because most days I don’t feel capable of sparing the 8 hours of sleep I need. It takes me a long time to chill out from the anxiety that work and financial chores stir up in me so I rarely really reach the point of genuinely ‘relaxing’ after work.
Revenge bedtime procrastination is also a big part. I deserve to enjoy some of my life dangit >:(
