Today, my mom heard on TV that teens need at least ten hours of sleep a day. Now she makes me go to bed at 7pm. I told her I can't finish my homework in time, and my grades will suffer. She wouldn't listen. Last week, she threatened to punish me if I don't get straight As this semester. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom said if I don't get straight As in my classes this year, she'll get the school to hold me back until I do. I believe her. FML
Today, I was grounded by my mom because I had slept in past 11, when she wanted me to wake up at seven to do chores. According to her logic, I should have seen the note she left on the counter earlier this morning. FML
Today, my dad lectured me because my mom cried herself to sleep last night. Why? Because I didn't want to watch a movie with her. I had to go to sleep to be up for work at 6 a.m., and was too tired to watch a movie in the first place. I live with drama queens. FML
Today, my parents made me wake up at 7 a.m., like every morning. When I woke up exhausted, my mom rolled her eyes and said, "It’s called going to bed earlier." I went to bed at 10 p.m. last night. I fell asleep at 5 am. FML
Today, my parents threatened to take away my college funds. Why? Because I complained about my 10 pm curfew during break as a freshman in college. FML
Today, my mom is obsessed with my academic success, as she was a highschool dropout, and actually gives me more homework than my school does, all so I’ll be more advanced than my peers. I barely know what a television is anymore, since it’s been so long I’ve had enough free time to watch one. FML
Today, after having watched a scare story on the news about heart disease, my mom is now insisting that we have daily, hour-long, family yoga sessions together. I have a job, and barely have enough time to do my homework as it is. I'm going to be grounded if I don't take part. FML
Today, after getting home from a twelve-hour shift at work, I got into bed and passed out. My mother soon woke me up, screaming that she could tell I was "fake sleeping" and ignoring her lecture on how I need to stop being so "lazy". FML
Today, my daughter told me she would rather hang herself than hang out with me. All I did was remind her to go to bed at a reasonable time to get some sleep for an activity she likes doing. FML
Today, my mom slept all day. But when she got out of bed for five minutes, she told me I was a worthless piece of shit. Then she went back to bed. FML

Why does she think you need to be up at 5?

Tell her she can get one or the other from you. Straight A's or straight Z's, not both.

You should tell her that if she had done her homework then maybe she wouldn't believe every stupid thing she hears on television! She probably watches FOX News too!

So u sleep 10 hours, go to school seven, spend probably two hours on homework, and have five hours to do shit.

That's funny, I get 4 hours of sleep per night and feel great.

Where did she hear teens need 10 hours of sleep a night a doctor's version of the national enquirer? That is so bogus. Try doing a lot of homework in school or see if you can stay after and do it before leaving. I hope you aren't at least 18 because then you shouldn't listen to her crap

You'll thank her later for the extra sleep. I love going to bed early, cause then I'm not tired at school

That's crazy. Parents will be parents. I'm a College student and usually only get 6 hours of sleep and I'm passing all my classes with As. Good luck op.

Well it's completely true that teenagers need more sleep than adults, that's just how they function. However, they're also programmed to go to sleep and wake up later so going to bed earlier will do you no good. If we actually worked with teenager's body clocks the school day would start a lot later and we'd all get a lie in...however, we don't so I guess there's no point trying to change it now, unless your mum doesn't mind you skipping morning classes.

However, following your natural sleep cycle also means you'll wake up for a couple of hours in the middle of the night (humans are supposed to have two short sleeps not one long one) so if you really want to follow it then do your homework then?
