Even more horrifyingly, children addicted to books stayed up late, reading under their bed covers using flashlights...

I used to do this lol. Lights out at 10 PM on a school night but if I was ever in the middle of an interesting book, I just couldn't help myself. Would sometimes read till 1 in the morning and then yawn all the day at school.
