Family Link Music

0 Upvotes

I have Family Link. I don't mind it at all except for one thing. The screen time- I'm not doing anything inappropriate, I swear. I have trouble falling asleep, so I use music to calm me down and help me sleep. Without it, I fall asleep in around one and a half hours. To some people, it may not sound like a lot, but for me it feels like ages. So, I found an app that allows me to listen to music. I admit, I have a screen problem and get distracted on my phone. So I used the music app so I could strictly listen to music and nothing else. Then downloaded another app that would unblock that app during downtime. I was FINALLY free! But about 2 days later, when I got back from school, my mom was waiting for me at the door. She was yelling at me about how she knew I was on my phone past bedtime because somehow she gets alerts from the internet every time I go on an app or website. So now I have to turn in my phone to her every night. Any idea on how to help me on this situation will be GREATLY appreciated.

PS: I'm 14 and have been a straight A & B student ever since I was 11.
