I am habituated in reading book on bed while going to sleep. I have heard of two different opinion on reading book before going to sleep, first is for good sleep quit the habit of reading any book other wise that may affect your sleeping while on bed you mind goes on roaming with it the second one is reading a good book i mean some knowledge based or spiritual types book can help you in having good sleep, it concentrate and focused the mind hence positive thoughts may lead you sleep better.

Whats your opinion

i do read books on the bed. But i do know that it isn't good for my eyes.

The side table lamp might give ample light but it's dim light. So apparently it does harm one's eye sight.

Reading book in dim light can caused to stress on eyes. Do you find any harm to your sleep in reading book on bed

I love to read books on my bed. It's one of the place where I read most often. I think it's mainly because I feel very comfortable on my bed. It allows me to read comfortably. No matter the time of day, if I can't go read outside, I'll be reading on my bed.


myLot reputation of 76/100. ajit25 (604)   ranked 913 out of 10,297 in reading  11 months ago

Yes what you say is right for me also i found very comfortable in reading book on bed but do you read before going to sleep


myLot reputation of 96/100. dodo19 (4341)   ranked 1,402 out of 10,297 in reading  11 months ago

Yes, I do read before going to bed. But it's not just before I go to bed.

Yeah, I read books in bed, lying down. I know it's bad for the eyes but there are times that i feel really sleepy but still want to continue reading. I've been doing it ever since but my eyes are still in perfect condition.


myLot reputation of 76/100. ajit25 (604)   ranked 913 out of 10,297 in reading  11 months ago

Rightly said while reading books its felt sleepy and that why lead us to a good sleep


myLot reputation of 94/100. doc_alma_jones (124)   ranked 5,020 out of 10,297 in reading  11 months ago

reading in bed is not bad for the eyes if your light source is not compromised.

if you are still getting enough light while you read lying down, it's alright to do so.

and when you read with dim light, it doesn't exactly cause myopia or hyperopia (in other words, it won't cause you to need glasses). reading with a dim light can only cause asthenopia, or eye fatigue.

the retina isn't "damaged" by dim light. your eye muscles just get tired from squinting in the dark.

I've heard that you are not supposed to have anything in your bedroom but your bed (and dresser, normal "bedroom" furniture). You aren't supposed to have books or a television - the bedroom should be for sleep and sleep alone. But that doesn't really work too well when you live in a dormitory where everything you own is confined to a 12 foot by 12 foot box or share an apartment with rowdy roommates and the only option you have for "alone time" is locking yourself in your room.

I've been in both situations and I can't see that having a television and books and desk and computer, etc. etc. etc. in my bedroom has affected my sleep. Currently, when I go to bed, I turn on a DVD of Pink Panther cartoons (averaging 6-7 minutes each) and generally by the third or fourth episode I am fast asleep.

*shrug*

Sometimes, but I don't like staying in one spot for more than an hour when I read. I have to switch rooms.. I live next to a coffee shop so sometimes I read there, sometimes I read at the library... it depends.

I often put several books on my bed and read them before sleep.It's good for sleeping,i think.There's more than one time that i fell asleep after reading in bed,hehe.Yes,maybe it's not good for your eyes,but me,my eyes are good till now.^^.my suggestion is to read some literary works,not horror,thriller,otherwise you will never fall asleep all night.lol.


myLot reputation of 76/100. ajit25 (604)   ranked 913 out of 10,297 in reading  11 months ago

yeah right some literary not horror, thriller


myLot reputation of 94/100. doc_alma_jones (124)   ranked 5,020 out of 10,297 in reading  11 months ago

um, like i said in a comment in this same discussion, reading in the dark doesn't cause myopia or hyperopia (refraction errors). it won't cause you to need glasses. it does cause asthenopia, or eye fatigue, which goes away eventually.

reading in the dark doesn't "damage" the eyes. your muscles just get tired from squinting in the dark. but eventually, those "sore muscles" abate and your vision is still as is.

somehow, there's a myth circulating that reading while lying down or reading in the dark will cause you to have refraction errors (in other words, you will need glasses). but that's what it is: a myth.

so go ahead, read away!:D

I never read a book whenever I am in bed. I feel sleepy and dizzy when I tried to do it. I do not know why..I just did not try it again.
