Have you ever missed your night sleep for a book

Yes. A lot of times and I do not regret doing it.

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!

Yes, many times! I used to stay up till 4 am on school nights

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.

No, not yet.

Lol, I can't count how many times I have done that. I am a regular in that department.

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.

Sometimes I have to tell myself 'ok, it's 1 a.m. now - time to get some sleep', lol. But I do enjoy reading at night, before bed.

Guilty as charged! If the book is too suspenseful and I am tempted to read the climax and ending, I would definitely sacrifice one night of sleep for it. I only do these for medium length books (300-350 pages) not for very thick books.

So many times! In fact, I remember staying up all night Christmas Eve one year as a teenager. I was so tired that Christmas morning but so happy because I had so much fun reading all the night before and it felt so special!
