To go to bed earlier and get up earlier

I’m looking for some advice on this. I was just putting then bins back in and I had my neighbour walk over to me, requesting we go to bed earlier as their kids arent going to bed because they are pointing out our lights in our house on late at night so using that as an excuse not to go to bed wgen asked too. They are also seeing our curtains closed sometimes like today as its bank holiday I was in bed until 1am which I do do sometimes as im currently looking for work. I don’t want people to not be sleeping (especially kids) because of something I am doing.

🤣 of course you don’t have to go to bed earlier because your neighbours are not able to explain to their kids that people do different things 🤣

Your neighbours are batshit! What time you go to bed is none of their business and if their kids are using your lights on as an excuse to stay up, it's up to them to point out to their kids that what time the neighbours go to bed is irrelevant. Do as you wish OP. Go to bed when you wish. And ignore your neighbours.

You're not responsible for their kids' bedtimes. Unless you've got spotlights pointed at their bedroom windows, this makes no sense.

Your neighbour cannot dictate what time you go to bed or open or close your curtains. They need to tell their kids that other people go to bed when they want to, and it's not up to their children. Crazy.
