Texting a girl: advice on a certain issue?

Hello people,

I've been texting this girl I really like and I think she likes me back.

There's this issue that I would really like your advice on. Sometimes our conversations over text last up until an hour or two before she goes to bed, but it just ends abruptly. She doesn't say that she's going to sleep or anything, I just send a message expecting a reply and she doesn't text back until I send her another text the next day. Example, she sends a text and I reply about 3-5 minutes later, and she doesn't reply. However, if our conversation lasts until the exact point she is going to leave, she does say "gtg to bed, ttyl!". I'm wondering if I should ask her to try to say when she has to go more often. In my opinion it sounds kind of desperate and I know girls aren't attracted to that (Even though us guys are desperate, but we don't want to sound that way). It would be nice to have some confirmation that she just left her phone and isn't ignoring me (she has the "read receipts" off so I don't know). Given these facts (especially the one about not getting a reply from her until I text again the next day), what do you think I should do?

Thanks a bunch!!!!

Sincerely,

Just another guy stuck in the dilemma of getting a girl

Update:

Well from what I've seen, I think she replies as soon as possible, but my problem is that she has to go or something while I'm thinking of what to say/typing it, and she doesn't say that she has to go. It's more of an annoyance but if I ask her to stop doing that it will sound kinda desperate, huh?

Also, I offered to go to one of her games and she loved the idea and said stuff like "K, see you then!!"

Update 2:

Nah, from what she's told me her parents don't care about that stuff. I really want to ask her though, but I don't want to sound desperate, idea for a work around?

    If she's a kid, it's possible her parents catch her using her phone and she's not allowed to after a certain hour, hence the abrupt end to conversations

    Honestly that kinda worries me. Girls, when they like a guy, hang on every word he says. I find it hard to believe she just stops replying if she likes you. I would be cautious, and don't put your heart on the line or get too invested too soon.
