This is interesting, I'm glad this question was asked because I had forgotten that it was something I was actually curious about myself.
There have been so many late nights where I have been lying in bed, tired but not sleeping, and decided to play a bit of New Leaf. I end up talking to my villagers and when one of them suggests I visit them I of course say yes. I then have to pray that they don't arrange it IN AN HOURS TIME. I'm too tired to wait another hour! I just wanted to play for a quick five minutes, now I have been roped into finding something to do for a whole hour just so can go to your house, stand around for two minutes and then leave.
I just have to learn to say no... or y'know, not play the game at 3:00am.
