CAUTIONARY TALE ABOUT LATE NIGHT READING!

PREFACE: This week I have had 3 huge tests and a Spanish paper due. This means that my sleep time has been almost non-existent.
         Last night at around 3 a.m. while writing a Spanish paper I decided to kill time that I didn't have to read proposal stories, because after all who doesn't love them? I was reading this adorable story of his this woman's boyfriend proposed to her in one of the cutest ways that I have ever heard of. After her proposal story came to an abrupt end she wrote that her fiance was killed in action in Iraq before they had a chance to get married. To this I cried, I cried so hard in fact that I had to call someone so that I could stop. For a while there I think he thought that something was terribly wrong, and I mean terribly wrong. I proceeded to cry for about the next 45 minutes over this 2 paragraph story. Lets just say that late-night reading is risky business!

LETS REVIEW:
  • Risk factors for what I will call late night hysterical reading episodes are as follows:
    • Lack of Sleep
    • Reading at a late hour
    • Reading while alone
    • When you are over-worked or over-stressed
    • Reading things like proposal stories, wedding stories, anything that has to do with military men and their families, Haiti ect...
