Reading vs Sleep

Ever since I learned to read it has been a favorite pass time of mine. Unfortunately, it has always been a struggle for me to balance sleeping and reading. Night time is the only time I can sit back and read uninterrupted. In 3rd grade I remember reading Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing and Super Fudge start to finish in one night then getting up and going to school. John gets mad when I read too much when he's home because I ignore him for a day or so while I read. When he's gone I don't have anyone complaining that the light is still on at 2am or snoring next to me so I keep finding myself reading still when the sun is coming up. I get up and handle my day with lots of coffee and like an addict I sneak in a few minutes where I can anticipating the time when I can just absorb the words for hours on end. Avery and Jay seem to have the same affliction. Jay reads every night in bed until I put his book up on the shelf and turn out his lights. He is always asking for 5 more minutes. Avery is allowed to regulate her own sleeping. At her age it just seems stupid to give her a bedtime. I figure she will live with the consequences of her choices. Nothing like being tired in school all day to make you go to bed earlier. I'm curious to see if Ty turns out the same.
