So apparantly

I wouldn't say cringe but if they only reason someone was sleeping earlier was for appearances I'd worry about their priorities. Sleeping earlier can be great for a lot of reasons and if, out if all of the reasons, the reason that got them able to sleep early was for looks... I'd be a bit worried about them. It does feel a lot easier to control your appearance than your mental and physical health though so maybe that'd be my conclusion. But yeah saying it's cringe is... an interesting choice. Sounds like a high schooler who doesn't quite know how to worry about someone yet. Or just an asshole. Who knows

So here's the thing, (it's my friend)
Gamers don't sleep early. They either don't sleep at all or sleep very late and have a fcked up sleeping schedule which is bad for health too.
Sleeping early and waking early is considered good for health. It's not about sleeping at 8 pm and waking up at 6a.m. NO
The person who said "I'll sleep early so that I can atleast prevent pimple" is a gamer whose sleep schedule is like sleeping at 12-1am and waking up at 8 or 9 am.
It's not about looks that they said this but because they don't use skincare products due to some tried products which didn't really match their skin type.

A good sleep schedule is like a once in a blue moon thing for gamers. And so my friend finally decided to not focus on games so much and make sure they are healthy and prevent pimple, pores and dark circles(they don't have this yet).
Its just for this hygienic schedule and good sleep timing. Not about appearance wise but if this is regarded as CRINGE then I think the meaning and use of CRINGE is being overused.

"This was said by a male" i heard enough (︶︿︶)

sleeping earlier can help with your skin quality. not cringe, its scientific.
if someone desires to sleep early for self improvement, that should be praised rather than criticized.

your skins barrier doesnt properly function when you're lacking sleep. when sleeping, your body naturally regenerates hGH (a hormone that produces collagen and has other benefits.) because of this, sleep is actually proven helpful to those with skin conditions like acne and eczema, as it decreases inflammation and helps rejuvenate the skin.

TLDR: your male friend sucks. ദദ(⁀ᗢ⁀)

I wouldn't evn refer him as a friend but just an acquaintance. This is also not the first time he have said such shits.
I wanna strangle him soo much but he lives far away from my home. But I swear to slap him on the head 1 day.
