Yes. Many many times. The first time this happened was when the Harry Potter series was coming out. Now it depends on the book. Sometimes the stories get so good you just cannot put down the book!

So many nights. Especially if it is a touching love story/romance book. I can't seem to be able to put the book down until I'm done. I read a lot of books.

This used to happen a lot. I was reading so much that I became the mascot for my local library. I would stay awake till dawn then sleep in very long Saturday.

I have absolutely missed out on sleep for a book. To me, it is just a sign of a well-written and captivating book.

Oh yes, very often actually. I know that it isn’t healthy, but some books are just really good.

I’ve definitely done this! It can be amazing how quickly four hours go by accidentally! I once dropped a heavy book on my face when I fell asleep reading. Talk about a rude awakening!

I've experienced that too. Some light novels about isekai and manhwa about game systems can make me lose sleep because I can't stop reading them. The titles are "Reincarnated with the Strongest System" and "Heavengate Necromancer." You can search for them on Google.
