Do you read before you go to bed?

No, I am not a big fan of book, I do read some book when I relaly have nothing to do or when I am on the beach but I won't take out the book just for reading while Ihave other entertainments like playing on the computer or watching TV, I might read some when I am travling but rarely.

There are times, when I do read before I go to bed. However, it doesn't happen very often that I do read before going to bed, nowadays. I guess it just depends on the night and how I'm feeling on that specific night.

If I am not very tired at night, then I have to read a book before I go to sleep, but when I am super tired because of work, I simply updated my diary and journal then go to sleep right away.

no, i don't read before i go to bed. i read after i go to bed. when my mind is all fresh and there's a cup of coffee beside me at 4 in the morning. sometimes i hate the morning sun when it comes!

Occasionally but I always fall asleep, having narcolepsy doesn't help! I do most of my reading to and from work on the train.

i know what you mean haha sometimes the book is just too interesting you cant put it down, when you finaly decide to go to bed all you can think about is whats gonna happen next , then you switch the lights back on and read til the early hours hehehe it happens to me alot!! ;)

Hi chelseaalawan, after having great fun typing posts here at mylot, I have lesser time doing the book reading. Anyway reading is still one of my favorite hobbies. I try my best to read the favorite books before going to bed. Okay! It doesn’t matter how much I could read daily. It’s just nice to cultivate such a good reading habit. I believe I insist to read a few pages before going to bed I still could finish a book subsequently. Yeah, I always stick to the belief of “many a little makes a mickle”. That’s right! I’m glad that I have finished reading quite a number of books in this way Moreover I could fall asleep faster for my eyes feel tired after the reading Happy posting and have a nice day!

I often read either a regular book or, more lately, listen to my ipod where I have several audio books stored.Theres something about having someone read me a story. Just when I was a little kid if you tell me a story for long enough chances are I will go to sleep. this is great because I use to be a terrible insomniac.Now I am getting more sleep, not as much as the average person but defiantly more.

I used to do that too before. Now, with my full time job taking so much time each day, I get so tired by the time I get back home. So, I prefer relaxing listening to songs and music. I like listening to classical music, very relaxing, takes away the stresses of the day. I keep a collection of CDs of classical music, Mozart, Chopin, Strauss, and more.

Me too, I read every night before sleep esp motivation book so it will give me good insight for my unconscious mind......try it ok!

This is normally when I do the majority of my reading. I prefer to read before bed because at this time, it is nice and quiet and peaceful in my house. For me, trying to read at any other time of the day is nearly impossible.

I don't read before sleep every night, but I do it often. I'm reading a book right now called "Fear Nothing" and its a book that never slows down, so when I read before bed I have a hard time finding a "slow" place to stop and go to sleep.

Like everyone else here, yes I like to read before going to bed as it's rather relaxing. However, ever since my husband decided to put the TV in our bedroom, the noise is too annoying but my husband enjoys watching TV before falling asleep. It's like a sleeping pill or lullaby for him. Now I take on a new interest, I do Sudoku :-) This distracts me from the TV noise, and keep my mind busy. I just need that little brain work before falling asleep.

it's good,I always read a many kind of book before sleep, but never choose a hard book. I choose a relax book like a history book,motivation and other.

I personally don't read before going to bed but if that's something you enjoy and it helps you sleep, then I can't imagine a more healthy activity before bedtime. I'm personally a TV guy myself. I'll watch that until I'm out. Congrats to you for finding a pleasant and healthy activity to do before sleeping. I'd imagine that reading is also a factor in maintaing an active mind and can definitely help gain a wider range of intelligence.

I have read before I go to sleep for almost as long as I can remember. I started it when I first learned to read just to get me to relax from the day. I do it now for the same reason and also because it is one of the few very peaceful times I get in the day. This is actually also a habit that I am trying to teach my 6-year-old daughter as well. She used to fall asleep with the TV on, but now I am trying to get her to pick up a book and read when she goes to bed for the night. Being a reader, I want to instill this habit in my children as well.

I used to but i don't anymore. I need to get into the habit of doing it again. it helps me sleep better.
