I accidentally left my Glo on overnight with the light on. I usually read before going to bed, but last night I read a little in bed. When I finished, I put the Glo face done on the bedside table. When I picked it up this morning, it hadn't gone to sleep. And something was selected on the screen. What I think happened is that I put it down on some paper that had the corner turned up. And that blocked the IR beams and kept the Glo awake.

The battery level was at 84% after this. I don't know what it started at, but I had it connected earlier in the evening, so it was close to full. The non-sleep was probably about nine hours. And the light was at the minimum.

That isn't a very scientific test. I am going to repeat this tonight but with the options turned to "Never" and nothing touching the screen.
