Oh dear, I think my addiction's getting worse

I think I'm in trouble.

I normally do my observing before going to bed and have a natural limit during the waxing moon. When I got my paracorr, the moon was at first quarter and, desperate to try my wonderful new toy, I got up at 2 to have a "quick look" which took a good few hours. I have now started getting up between 2 and 4 am and dragging the scope out. There are now only a few days of the lunar cycle that are out for observing. At this stage my relationship is safe, but I fear worsening sleep deprivation. Only clouds can save me and they are now few and far between in Central Victoria.

Do others have this same problem? Is there any return from such an addiction?
