It's 4 am!

I am not a reader so I don't stay up late, but I dound myself up late here on MyLot somenights. I will look down and say 10 more minutes, next thing it's 3 hours later.

I can literally read for 12 hours and totally lose track of time. When I lay in bed and read, I have to set myself up with a cutoff time or I will be up all night. I have to do this because I have kids I have to get off to school and when I don't sleep, I am a tad gretzy. I have on occasion though read until after 3 in the morning. And then, there are times when I wake up and can't go back to sleep that I will pick up my book and read. To me though, reading doesn't make me tired; it has the opposite effect on me...haha!!!

Oh yes! I used to do that all the time growing up. At 3am one morning on a school night when I was eight, my mom found me in the closet with a flashlight reading Charlotte's Web. I used to do that, all the way into my teen years. While I may not do that so much now, I can still get so involved I forget what time it is.

wow, that must be quite a gripping tale! i think the latest i have ever stayed up to read was around 2 in the morning. i am so not a night person and am exhausted and ready to go to bed around 10:30 and cannot keep my eyes open by 11 pm. i wouldn't last long at a all night read.

I think I used to stay up and hour or two. My eyes would get tired and I wouldn't be able to see. Have a problem with them anyway. I would buy something boring and I bet it would help get you to lah lah land. You don't have to wear reading glasses yet do you?

It's 5 am and I cannot sleep. I ave been awake for a few hours, tossing and turning and hoping to go back to sleep. So I decided to come on mylot and here you are- still awake and reading. I will now get some coffee and read the morning newspapers online. Good morning, The book must be so engrossing to keep hou p so late. Wat is the title?

Not for a long time admittedly, I blame the internet for taking up all of my reading time, before the internet I always had my head in a book and would become so engrossed in the story that it was like I had jumped into the book and was playing one of the roles, it was a blessed escape from reality, many a time I wouldn't go to bed till 2am because my curiousity made me kept reading.

I do not think I have stayed up that late reading since I was a teen.Of course I was never a night owl, so it would more likely be that I would get up very early and read all day.

pretty late, but not on a work night, I'd be a zombie...

I don't usually stay up to read, but all too often I end up staying up to watch something on TV that is better than the usual early evening programming

Reading at night is an awesome experience. With all the cool and silent atmosphere, concentrating on the storyline, characters and actually getting into the scene we are reading is very easy. I'm glad you're having a good time with your reading. By the way, what book are you reading? I remember I was reading Mario Puzo's Godfather and I was awake all night reading it. I slept the other day the whole time.

If the book is really good until it is finnished which is several hours to a day depending on the length, but since I have had kids, I don't get nearly as much reading done as I used too. I do get some reading in when I am sick or there is quite time for me.

I too am addicted to reading .when my exams were close ,my mom used to ask me to study and I used to read mystery stories and whenever mom came nearby I had my school text book above the story book ,but I passed my exams with good grades also .The book draws one in itself that you don,t want to leave it unfinished .
