Reading book while sleeping

Wow bed is my favorite place to read. There is nothing better than piling up a million pillows and getting snug as a bug and then pulling out a good book.

This may be true but I've also read that your brain can absorb and process the information that you just read better when you read right before you go to sleep. Something along those lines but I also enjoy reading before I go to sleep it helps me to get sleepier and I just love to read so I like to fit in some reading whenever I can.

i dont have that habit, i keep spending my time on net till i am fully tired and then go to sleep, i like to read but now slowly with the arrival of computers and net, i do it mostly online only, so books are kind of eliminated from my life, just with children its sometimes...explaining them some stories etc and for myself i dont read mostly, whatever is related to eyes, is harmful either its wrong way of reading books or doing too much computing, so take care of your eyes and yourself ...the eyes in the avatar are also very beautiful... ....jus kidding!!!

That saying may be true and i've seen it somewhere, it does really have scientific proof for it. After knowing it, i stopped myself from reading while laying on bed. We have to take good care of our eyes, as it's not recoverable once hurt. I felt so lucky that i do not need to wear specs until now, compared to many of my friends around. By the way, i do agree that reading while laying on bed is a really nice and relaxing thing to do, though it's not good for health,haha.

Reading books lying on your bed is certainly harmful for your eyes.I too can't sleep before i have read books.My interests include wild life,politics,detective stories,stories from the Ramayan and the Mahabhart,history,travels,ghost stories and yes,fairy tales written for children.It is a good habit to read books before going to bed,but plese try to read in sitting position.

I think i believe on that, because even on textbooks, it is also not advisable to read while lying. But i can really help myself to disobey that rule. Reading while lying is somewhat relaxing, you cannot feel any back pains at all or any neck hassles. The truth is, people really do love to do what is harmful, since all bad things are pretty nice to do. That's why we intend to disobey rather than obey.

My mom used to tell me that I should not be reading while lying on bed. But not for eye-care reason. Back then in the province, we use kerosene lamps for lights and reading while lying in bed can cause fire accidents.

When we finally had the electricity though, they can't stop me from reading in bed. I don't see any reason why it will hurt my eyes if I have sufficient light. I am comfortable and can read more while slugging in bed. And I purposely do such to lull myself to sleep.

I guess I am doing it all wrong then! I have it set up so that my coffee pot is next to my bed so that in the mornings, I just prop myself up and grab my coffee and read! It's been my habit of many years to read in the mornings, although I did not usually read in the bed!

I also like to finish my day with a good read also. It is a way for me to unwind and begin the resting process. It slows my body down and soon my mind follows. (or that's the plan at least!)

So yes, I do read in bed!

My eyesight is - 3.25.So i take and fallow doctors advice.But i really want to say u that i hate reading most in books.I read useful topics on net.

I advice you friend to fallow doctors advice because it is good for you in future.

I used to read while laying down in my bed quite a lot. But with age I grew to need reading glasses. I wear transition lenses and now I no longer enjoy reading while laying down. My head/eyes need to be angled at the page just right or most of the words appear blurry. Now I prefer to prop myself up to a sitting position in order to hold the book right in front of me.
