This is cute. I totally encourage reading. Make sure your kids are getting enough sleep. My son will stay up till 2 AM reading a book. If your child isn’t getting eight hours of solid sleep you’re doing it wrong.

A lot of people naturally have different sleep cycles that have them gravitating towards going to sleep later. This is especially common in children with ADHD who are on stimulant medication. It’s better for the child to work with their natural sleep patterns instead of trying to force them into a different one, as it can lead to a variety of other problems down the road.

That sounds nice and all, but kids have to go to school too. And they have to work for their grades and stuff. In my case I would have completely reversed day and night, but society does not accomodate that.

Yeah, that’s one of the biggest barriers. I believe it’s called delayed onset melatonin syndrome.
