What a great question!
One reason why a curfew is good is summed up in a quotation by President Hinckley. We included it in our book as a tip for saying morally clean: “Nothing really good happens after 11 o’clock at night” (Gordon B. Hinckley, “To the Women of the Church,” Ensign, Nov 2003, 113).
The Doctrine and Covenants says, “Retire to thy bed early that ye may not be weary” (D&C 88:124). Having a curfew is starting to sound like a good idea!
One other thought–we assume that the person asking this question has a curfew imposed by parents. If your parents have created a curfew for you, it’s important to remember to honor your parents. With all they’ve done for you, keeping a curfew really isn’t asking too much…
