bedtime

Does this scenario sound familiar: You’re washing the Sunday dinner dishes or brushing your teeth before bedtime—and you feel the looming horror of Monday morning back at work.

While other kids were having bedtime stories read to them at night, you were at music venues with your dad watching acts like Motörhead, Johnny Thunders and TSOL.

I brought my whole self everywhere: to work, to bedtime, to date night.

Short sleep and later bedtimes strengthened the relationship between screen time and cardiometabolic risk.
