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

      LOL! Guilty as charged. But I’m better now. I read on my phone under the covers, no flashlight needed. :)

      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!
