Maybe a wiser man would recognize that he should listen to sense, but that’s one of Peter’s many problems – he is not a wise man, and he most certainly ignores good sense for the sake of convenience. Like when good sense might prove him wrong, or when it makes him do crap he doesn’t want to do.
But in this case, he doesn’t exactly see what the big deal is. The late nights and the lack of sleep aren’t ideal, admittedly, but, hey, it’s giving the two of them some much needed one-on-one time. It would take a bigger fool than Peter to pass up an opportunity like that. ]

[ And he has been, kind of. Sort of.
Power naps totally count, right? ]
I’m fine. Scout’s honor.
