school night
Early bedtime precursor
A school night is an evening before a school day, typically Sunday through Thursday.
The term implies an early bedtime or limited socializing: I can't stay out late—it's a school night.
Adults use it humorously to justify leaving early or declining invitations, even when school is long behind them.
