My 12yo did something similar over the weekend. She hasn't read at home since she started middle school. We used to read to her at night, but she negotiated a later bedtime without stories which was fine with us. In elementary school, she'd have to take tests throughout the year and earn x amount of points for a nine weeks. She doesn't have that this year. But over the weekend she asked if she couldn't sleep could she read for a little bit. I know my kid needs her sleep, but if she's actually reading, I'm not going to say no.

Absolutely, we have less a problem with my son going tk sleep than we do staying asleep in the morning so if he wakes up to early we always encourage him to stay in bed and read as that is its own form of resting.
