But, the earlier she goes to bed, the more likely I am to stay up super late.  If Katie goes to bed around midnight, I&#8217;ll usually only stay up a half hour or so, finishing up my blog reading and then heading to bed.<\/p>\n<p>However, if Katie feels tired at around 10 PM, I find that staying up just an extra 2 hours suddenly turns into 3, then 4, then beyond.  Why does this happen?  Why do I stay up late, doing <i>nothing<\/i> when I know I&#8217;ll be tired in the morning?  And why is this more likely to happen the earlier Katie goes to bed?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;ll try not to do that tonight.  But&#8230;who knows?
