Reading over sleeping

Though I haven't gone all night reading a book, I've definitely gone deep into the night. Sometimes they are so interesting you just can't put them down.

Yea, it is probably way t0o common for me.

I find myself doing that probably at least once a week. It is, in my opinion, the best kind of sleep deprivation!

YES!! I do it all the time and I am always so tired the next day. I used to stay up all night and read scary books when I was a teenager and I would get myself so scared that I would have to go sleep with my mom, hahaha

I finished the Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde just by reading it every night, late at night not around night, just because it was good and I didn't feel like wasting time sleeping.

Omg, yes! I used to stay up and read under my covers with a book light all night, even during school nights. I thought I was the sneakiest person ever.

On far too many occasions I've put reading ahead of sleeping...and eating too haha. I don't intend for it to happen, but once I get into my reading zone, there's no pulling me out of it until I've finished the book. Twelve hours later and...oops it's a new day and I haven't gone to sleep yet!

I love to sleep but I definitely love to read more. I stay up to read so often that it might be unhealthy.

I have definitely disregarded sleep to finish those really exciting chapters!

I do this all the time. I get so involved in a book and then think alright one more chapter then end up just finishing the whole thing. I often wake up with sore eyes and no sleep. I always say never again but then I just can't stop reading. I think I've stopped reading at night a total of 5 times. But usually I'm only up until about 3 finishing books.

I love to finish my books at night. I don't know if that is weird but I will save the last chapter or so of a book and read it at night. I think I feel more engrossed at night when it feels like the world has been reduced to only the story I am reading. It also gives me time to kind of sit there and absorb the ending well. So I would rather stay up at night reading than sleep!

I feel like I never really sleep when I start a new book. You know how you get so in to a book and you loose all track of time, when you finally finish what your reading and put the book down, and you realize you'll be getting up in like 3 or 4 hours, that's how it is for me almost all the time.

I love staying up to read a good book. The main reason being everyone else is asleep so no one is around to bother you when you are so into the book. I get angry when people interrupt mu reading, so I stay up and read. This week I stayed up till 4am four nights in a row.

I am the opposite. I go to bed early and wake up around 3-4am. I similarly enjoy reading in the quiet. It's a nice start to my day.
