Have you ever missed your night sleep for a book

I really can't say I missed a night sleep for a book. It is mostly kind of in-between, I did rather say I shared the book with my night sleep, that is, read the book and slept a little late.

I have done that many times. I mean most of the time.

Yes! I reread Hunger Games, and I ended up sleeping after midnight 'cause I can't put it down (lol).

I have read all night because I could not fall asleep and eventually gave up and read to pass the time. I don't think I have intentionally stayed up much past midnight for a book though. Usually, when my body is ready to sleep I just push the book to the side and fall asleep. If I'm relaxed, it's nearly impossible to keep my eyes focused when I'm tired.

I had this habit of staying up the whole night to complete a book even on school nights. But now, I've come to appreciate taking things slow and steady and having a healthy relationship with anything in your life, be it books, food or series. I still have days when it is so difficult to put down a book halfway, but I remind myself of how happy I will be tomorrow when I continue it.

I have indeed. I just can't keep a book down. It's actually scary to think that I have no idea how many books I have actually finished in one sitting.

I remember staying up till 4 am to finish a book I started early in the day, my elder sister was like won't you even get to sleep. I was just so glued to the book I could not drop it without knowing the end. luckily for me, the book wasn't so big so I could finish it and was still able to catch about 2 hours sleep. Wondering if it is lack of discipline or love for book that make me do such.

If it has ever happened to you, here is the place to give your experience.

I've been doing this for ever. I still did it sometime this week when I read a book that wasn't very big. It had less that 200 pages, so I started reading it in bed g and finished it before going to sleep in the middle of the night.

Exactly.
So many. I am not planning to stop either.

Neither am I but my dark circles beg to differ.

I have missed many nights of sleep reading a book. I'll start one and just can't seem to put it down until I have finished it!

I've only pulled a few all-nighters for some extraordinary books; don't regret it.

Yes, I have. "You are the best wife" by Ajay.K.Pandey was the first book that I read. I remember reading the last few chapters late at night, my family members were sleeping and myself crying, because it was so emotional, that I cannot stop reading or crying.

"Stranger trilogy" by Novoneel Chakraborthy is a set of 3 books. Since it is thriller genre, I used to read the books till late night and completed reading those 3 books in 9 days.

Did it a couple years back when I could afford to lose those hours. Nowadays I try not to lose any sleep. Those books were particularly short, of the Goosebumps series, I usually perused it for an hour and left it unfinished for the following night.
