I think the first time I realised minecraft's ability to do this was when I first downloaded the game and spent hours and hours building ramshackle shelters and shallow, unorganized mines. Long story short, 6 hours later I realised just how epic this game was and knew it was gonna eat up a lot of my life

Without the skin... Beneath the storm... Under these tears...The walls came down
When Minecraft first came to Xbox, I didn't notice the time fly by, neither did my friends. We would spend hours and I mean HOURS. Just digging in caves to find diamonds and building materials. By the time we noticed how much time had gone by we had noticed the day was almost over. We spent about 10 hours just digging and building our houses.
I had plans for my summer vacations. Lots of plans. Go to the gym, get a job, go camping with the friends, etc...
But I bought minecraft in May and... well, you know the rest. u.u'
It's crazy how the time flies by. Seemingly small projects take hours when you think at first they will take 15 minutes or so. The game really sucks you in. I keep telling myself "I'm gonna take a nice break of several hours." only to go back and play again less than an hour later because the game music is in my head now.
It's kinda funny, but sad at the same time because it takes so much time. It makes you wish you could stop time just to play this game.
i used to have this problem...then last year my girlfriend and i found a mini fridge at a garage sale, now whenever i plan on gaming for a long time i stock the fridge with munchies and drinks....oh yea its right beside my gaming couch so i dont have to get up lol
pfft - I'll start playing at 10pm on a Friday night (after the kids go to bed) and the next thing I realize is my wife is getting up and cooking Saturday morning breakfast...
Oh, I know that all too well. My wife goes to sleep, I start playing Minecraft - just want to mine some more obsidian for my Black Tower project. And it's only 11 PM, so no problem.
1:30 AM - "Wow, that late already? No problem, I only need 5 to 6 hours of sleep, anyway."
2:41 AM - "Yeah, so much for a minimum of five hours. Well, I'm just going to finish that one layer. Those 20 or so blocks don't make much of a difference anymore now."
2:43 AM - "DIAMONDS!"
4:15 AM (when it starts getting bright outside) - "Dammit, I better stop soon to get at least a couple of hours of shut-eye."
5:37 AM - "**** it! Sleep is overrated anyway!"

Is it a chicken or is it a duck? - It's a chuck, because dicken sounds stupid.
Since minecraft is a game that has no real objective, nothing to work toward you end up playing longer because you feel like you've actually achieved something even though you haven't. I built an enormous box for no reason built it on and off for a few weeks turned out larger than first planned. First day working on it I spent all day leveling a 124x124 area squared made out of cobblestone, mined over 40,000 peices legitimately
and I knew it was lame but kept going. But I don't really even know if minecraft is a good game or not, it's weird. I just play it.
My wife sat up with me one time while I was obsidian mining and saw how mind numbingly slow it is. She hasn't really bothered me about staying up all night since.
Note that I have not demonstrated the obsidian casting techinque to her (mostly because I just learned it myself) and if anyone here tells her about it I will track them down and lure a dozen creepers into their furnace room....

Taco Bell.
It's a meal and a laxative all in one!

That, my friend, in classic OCD :-)
