    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.

      I’m 90% sure that’s why I needed glasses. Probably ruined my eyes trying to read at close range in the dark after I was told to stop and go to sleep.

      I’ve fixed with laser eye surgery now though. Hopefully I don’t fall into the same trap with my phone this time!
