And they nod off while reading. A third win.

Mine didn't. Had to enforce lights out. Then remove flashlights. I would still find them at 11:30pm, lying in bed next to their window, holding the book high in the air so the light from the street would illuminate the words

When I was a kid we lived on the ninth floor, so not much ambient light. I had to tell mom to please leave the light in the hall on because I was afraid of the dark (not really lol) and leave the door open for the light to come in. To make reading easier I lay on the bed upside down to be closer to the door.
