Article: If you're discovered awake, say that you're just going to the bathroom or are getting a glass of water. Another plausible excuse is "I couldn't sleep." Try saying you had a bad dream and needed to distract yourself for a few minutes. You could also say you thought you heard a noise downstairs and wanted to make sure everything was okay. If you have a sibling or a friend spending the night, ask them to join you to make the night more fun. Just be sure your sibling won't tell on you the next day. Make it clear that if they keep it a secret, you two can do this again sometime. Keep your voices down to a whisper as you move around the house, and try not to make each other laugh. Let the dog or cat join you too if you know they'll be quiet. If the dog will bark, you may need to stay inside your room all night. Take slow, soft steps on the balls of your feet if you're going to leave your room. Avoid any of the areas you determined could have a creaky floorboard. And turn doorknobs slowly to avoid any loud clicks. If you want to watch TV while you're up, turn it on and then immediately hold down the button to decrease the volume. You never know how loud it was when it was turned off. Keep it as low as possible so that even if your parents get up to go to the bathroom, they might not hear it. If you have a TV in your room, be sure to place a blanket or towel at the base of your door. This will block any light from the TV from leaking out into the hallway. Try to go to the bathroom as infrequently as possible in order to cut down on noise. Limiting your beverage intake will help with this. Also consider not flushing the toilet until the morning, right before you hop back into bed. Once it's time to wake up, revert your room to its normal mode. Hide your snacks in the closet, and slide into bed. Pretend that you're sleeping when your alarm clock rings or your parents come to wake you up.

Think of a good excuse if your parents catch you awake. Invite a friend or sibling you trust. Move slowly. Turn down the TV volume. Limit your bathroom trips. Keep your eye on the clock.
