Refers to the age-old "cranky conundrum" issue about when children want to go to bed as opposed to when adults wish to do so. Many youngsters detest bedtime and want to delay it as long as possible, whereas grownups often can't wait to "hit da hay", and are also always looking to "catch a few extra winks" whenever possible.
Da whole bedtime-vs.-age debacle equally applies to getting up in the morning, as well --- many kids are totally "rarin' to go" at da crack of dawn, whereas their exhausted parents would happily "sleep till noon" if they had da choice.
