I try to read a little before I go to sleep otherwise I have hard time trying to get to sleep.I've gotten into such habit of doing it almost every night.It's almost addictive.

I seldom read before I sleep, because I usually sleep very well. Eachen, if you have a problem sleeping, trying reading something you don't like to read just before bedtime, like the work you bring back from office, and you'll knock off in no time....haha.

Personally I do not read before going to sleep all the time even though I am not a morning person when I read that is the time I prefer the most for reading. I use to not even want to wake up in the morning however lately I have been on a mission to succeed beyond my wildest dreams and therefore have started to go the extra mile. Per many authors about Self-made Millionaires they tend to read more than the average person. It is said that the average person reads less than one book a year whereas if you want to succeed and advance in whatever you are currently doing you should read about that and become an expert. I hope this didn't get too off track :) www.reipowerhouse.com

I don't have such habit, but I have to read some joy program on computer, then I will have a sound sleep. When I think of something, I can't go to sleep quickly, so I have to keep calm, then I can go to sleep. Now I don't like sleep alone, I feel very afraid of darkness. And i feel i can get a sound sleep if I sleep with my bf, i will feel safe. When I was a student, I like reading before I go to sleep. I feel the smell of book can make me calm.

since i started to have a hard time falling asleep, i had to read books so that i get tired and fall asleep faster. but i don't do it all the time, sometimes i watch movies to fall asleep.
