yeah sometimes people can really get carried away by books and end up reading it all night long.

I love reading before I go to sleep. It's the time of day when I can sit down and read without getting interrupted or feeling like I should be doing something else. Nothing too exciting though, or I'll get too into it and will never fall asleep!

If I try to read in bed, I have a cat in between me and the book.

Sometimes I will read book before sleeping but not always. If I read story book before sleep I have problem sleeping. I have to finish the book I am reading before go to sleep. If I read book like my course book, before I reach six pages, I already feel sleepy. Those book are really boring especially theory part.

i used to do so without fail when i was much younger during my school days and i enjoy reading enid blyton series like secret 7 and hardy boys etc. however, i changed this habit the moment i had a computer at home. since them, i had spent more time in front of the monitor than books..

Yes, I like to read books before sleeping too. I've read somewhere that reading before sleeping actually helps you to sleep. It's a better option than going on the Internet or watching TV. Reading somehow helps one relax and therefore, makes sleeping easier. I don't know if it works for me because I always have no trouble sleeping at night! But to read before sleeping helps me to catch up on my reading. I've been going online for far too long and been neglecting my books. I used to go online every day before going to sleep and I don't like it at all. I just want to read! :D

I am a book reader and I do read books before going to sleep. This is sort of relaxation for me for the whole day stress I gained from my work. Also, it puts me to sleep faster because my mind is relax as well as my body.

I read books every night before going to sleep. It stimulates my mind and at the same time relaxes me so it is easier to put me to sleep. I can only read about 4-5 pages though, because i easily fall asleep.

I used to read before going to sleep but I don't have any new books or mags to read now. I am into watching TV before sleeping.
