Is the word bedtime an indirect object?

No, "bedtime" is not an indirect object in the sentence "It's bedtime."

Here's why:

* Direct object: A direct object receives the action of the verb. In this case, there is no direct object.

* Indirect object: An indirect object is the recipient of the direct object. Since there's no direct object, there can't be an indirect object.

"Bedtime" is functioning as the subject complement, which is a word or phrase that renames or describes the subject.
