Answer:

No, it is NOT a comma splice.

Step-by-step explanation:

A comma splice is using a comma to link two independent clauses. This sentence has one independent and one dependent.

Although she'd gotten into bed hours ago. - that's a sentence fragment or an incomplete idea.

She couldn't put her book down. - That is an independent sentence or a sentence that can stand on its own.
