Reading over sleeping

[circumspect4]

Guilty as charged! I have done it every night this week. I keep saying ok, just one more chapter, or I'm going to set my timer and stop reading at this time, and then next thing I know it is 11:00 p.m. and WAY past my bedtime. But there is nothing better than a book that you can't put down!

I have done that ever since I was a kid! I love reading until your eyes hurt and you're almost asleep.

Happened once. THE EXECUTIONERS SONG. Couldn't stop reading.

As much as I love to read, I've never lost sleep over a good book. I need my rest!!!

[beebee216]

I did this so often as a child, my parents would have to take my book so I couldn't. It didn't help that I would steal my dads head lamps to read under the bed lol. Now I'm an adult and I have my own head lamps. So ha!

Sometimes when a book is very good and I know something interesting is about to happen, I could not want to sleep and put down the book. Even when I finish a chapter, I still go to the next and cant seem to put is down.

All the time! I used to shove towels underneath my bedroom door so my mom and dad couldn't see that I'd turned the light back on so I could keep reading through the night!

There was this one time that I stayed up till 6 in the morning to finish a book, and the next day was a school day. The book was the best one I have ever read. This got my mother super angry with me.

If it's a really good book, I won't be able to go to sleep at all! Going to sleep will feel like a chore! But I do like doing some reading before I fall asleep at night or before naps because then I know i'll be dreaming about the content in the books

I totally agree with that!

[dallen1016]

Yep. I read breaking dawn in a 24 hour period. I could not put it down even to sleep and I love sleep

Definitely. If I find myself really into a book, it's always, "Okay, I'm at page 120, I'll go to bed when I get to 200." But then page 200 is a huge cliffhanger and then I go, "Well, I'll just keep reading," and the next thing I know I'm at the end of the book an emotional mess at 3am.

I have no idea how many times I have stayed up reading and look at the clock and it is almost morning. Not good when your a mommy of three, but it just happens. I also don't know how many times I have fell asleep reading and dropped my phone on my face lol. That hurts my phone isn't small at all!

[1rskrypka]

I do it all the time, thinking I can nap during the day to make up for it. Never works out that way though because then I just want to read something else.

[mlacombe88]

Yes. I do this all of the time. When I was a child, I used to sleep with a flashlight, just so I could read under the covers.
