Okay, loyal Cake Eater fans, I've got a question for you:

It's late evening and a certain person, let's call him Mr. LL, is wedged in his favorite comfy chair reading a book and sipping at a glass of wine.

Mr. LL has had a long day and is very tired. In fact, he's so tired that he dozes off whilst reading.

A short while later, Mrs. LL appears. She wakes Mr. LL from his light slumber, announces that it's bed time, and departs.

Mr. LL, who is both very relaxed and very groggy, can do one of two things:

First, he can get up and follow Mrs. LL upstairs. This would entail not only hoisting himself out of his very comfy chair, but also staggering about and taking care of all those end-of-the-evening tasks - turning out all the lights, checking the door locks, brushing teeth, putting on jammies, etc., etc.

Second, he can simply roll over in his chair and go back to sleep.

The Question: What should Mr. LL do and why?

UPDATE: My word, you kids seem to have an awful lot of energy! Wait'll you get to be Mr. LL's age and we'll talk some more.
