Does reading makes you fall asleep?

Depends on the book. A griping novel will keep me awake and reading all night. I read all 3 of the Lord of the Rings books in 4 days, I just couldn't stop reading it! But some study books put me to sleep in seconds, give me a math book and I am out of it!!!!

Unfortunately reading has always made me sleepy. I don't know why and it especially does if I try and read before going to sleep. Even reading on the airplane in the morning makes me sleepy. I wonder why this happens to some people and not to others. My husband can read for hours and no effect. One of the differences we have is the speed we read at. He is a very fast reader where I am a slow reader and it is just one theory I have come up with why MAYBE I get sleepy while reading.

Yeah, I tend to get really sleepy when I read books. I guess that's because nothing is really a happening in the book for me to get interested in. It's kinda like all the talking parts in an action-packed movie. It would have to be really, really interesting for me not to fall asleep, like some fighting going on or something unexpected happened in the story and leaves you hanging till the next chapter (or the next book in some cases).

I read novels when I was still single. It sometimes grew so interesting and thrilling that I had stayed for longer hours just to read on. But, as I usually laid down when I read books, my eyes got tired so easily. I know it is not good to read while lying down. But one of my reasons for lying down while reading was that I didn't need to go and find my bed when sleep knocked me off, lol.

I don't read books! :D Because they make me sleepy! I guess that answers your question! :D

It's depends.Sometimes when i feel spleepy i will read some boring book ,then i will fall aspleep soon.Sometimes when i am unhappy,i will read some jokes,and i will get some happy from it ,and have a good dream.But sometimes when i read some books i'm interested very much,i will read ,read,and read until mid-night.

Yes, I feel sleepy because my eyes get so tired quickly. And especially, if I read lying down. But like you, when the story is interesting, I couldn't stop reading. I can finish a 500-page novel in one sitting.. ^^

It does depend on some circumstances. If i will rad a book that i am tired and i can't sleep i would grab one and read until i fall asleep. but if my system is in perfect condition to finish a book i couldn't sleep if i will not finish the book, especially if that book is quite interesting.

Yes... every time i start reading a book, i become drowsy and my eyes will really pull me to bed. A good way to make me sleep especially when i am having sleeping problem. No meds, no expenses just read book to fall asleep.

I understand your point. It entirely depends on the personality. Some people read books when they want to sleep. Some read when they feel sleepy. But when you are reading something very interesting, it's hard to get sleep!

Yes, only when I am reading my school books. I don't know why it makes me sleep. It's like my cure to insomnia. But when I am reading novels, fiction, adventure, romance books, I don't get sleepy. It's only the academic books.

Yeah, I have had such a situation too. From where I stand, reading is becoming one of the things I do to make me feel sleepy. Sometimes, when I find it hard to sleep and then, I will read some books to make my eyes tired. Obviously, I will fall asleepquickly. In fact, every time, when I go to the library to borrow some books, I will feel tired because there are full of all kings of books. In total, I have spent much time on the Internet and lose interests in reading books gradually. Happy myLotting!

Good afternoon careguarden ,I like book very much ,especially novels and SHANGHAI STYLE , when I get them ,I must read them completely at a time in any given time or place ,when I feel hard to sleep ,I will listen to some soft musics or VOA before falling into asleep .ENJOY YOUR LIFE !!

i go through phases actually.. i do read every night!! i have to read before bed.. but sometimes i'll keep reading and sometimes i'll read a few pages and sleep.. i guess its my way to wind down

....oh yeah!!...i often fell sleep when i'm reading books espl. if has thousand pages , but if the book needs to be return, i complement my reading with coffee or banana + gatorade... happy mylotting!!
