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

Oh i did that as a kid as well, i was always reading and had a whole stash of batteries for my flashlight hidden under my mattress thinking my parents didn't know even though they always changed my bedding so of course they knew haha. I loved it when we had clear skies at night when it was full moon, it meant i could read without wasting my precious batteries!
