This is a fun bookish dilemma to talk about, so to say. We all want to sleep, and we all need sleep. But the book we're currently reading can't be put down quite yet, no matter what time it is.
We can stay up well after midnight just to finish that one scene or chapter only to find that it's now 6 in the morning and we've finished the book. And others who aren't avid readers, or don't read at all, don't understand why we end up staying awake for most, if not all, of the night just to read.
Here are a couple of simple answers:
- The part we stopped on before prepping for bed ended on a cliffhanger
- The part we stopped on was in the middle of a chapter
- The book is suspenseful and hard to set down
- Nighttime gives readers more of an atmosphere
On the 15th, I will be making a post on tips for reading before bed. Stay tuned for that post!
