You want an honest opinion. Here is mine. Good for you. Who did she think that she was talking to? You are a first class passenger, and I assure you that at BA the person would have been reported by the Cabin Service Director for insolence. Indeed that applies to any passenger but particularly to the premium cabins.

I find that a problem American has is that there are no managers aboard to deal with service issues and that the crew are largely unsupervised. Had I been you, I would have complied and then just raised them as soon as her back was turned. There were no safety or security issues involved. Had she made an issue out of it, she would have met her match. Consideration for others is one thing, sensible proceedures to minimise jet lag is another.
