Sleep deprivation

[guest439437484421]

So I just finished up the most recent Dresden Files book, Cold Days.  Two night in a row I ended up staying up WAY past by bedtime reading the book, mainly because I lost track of time, and partly because I didn't want to put the book down.  It got me wondering, how many others have ended up reading into the wee hours of the night, to only get 2-3 hours of sleep for work or something important the next day?

...for work or something important the next day?

 

For work?  All the time.  For something important?  I generally go to bed on time.

Been there, done that.

Or when I had issues with falling asleep, I'd start reading a book in hopes of falling asleep while reading. I ended up finishing the book (400-500 pages) instead. *sigh*

Too often. My favorite is when I read something scary, then sufficiently creep myself out so that I can't sleep and have to read more of something else (sarcasm, but it definitely happened last night).

I've done this way to often. Last night is a perfect example. Was finally finishing up the last book of the hunger games and stayed up way to late doing it. The worst time I remember was in high school. I stayed up until it was time to go to school reading the time machine. My teachers didn't appreciate me nodding off all that day lol.
