Booking Through Thursday: Night Owl?

Booking Through Thursday is a weekly meme about (mostly) books and reading. Today’s question is:

What’s the latest you’ve ever stayed up reading a book? Is staying up late reading a usual thing for you?

I am definitely a certified night owl. I’ve probably stayed up reading easily until 4 a.m. Sometimes I just can’t put down a book even though I know that staying up that late defies all reason and logic and humans do not naturally function that way. But I can’t help it! Usually I stay up this late when the plot is really picking up and moving toward something good and I. HAVE. TO. KNOW. WHAT. IT. IS. NOW! I can’t possibly wait until tomorrow like a civilized person would do.

Most nights however, I do read before bed for at least a few hours and it’s usually 1 or 2 a.m. before I actually hit the hay. I know this is pretty ridiculous too, but it feels relaxing to me and I figure as long as I’m laying down horizontally, my body is still at rest so that has to count, right? Right?!
