I always bring my cell phone, ipod and book up next to my bed at night while I sleep.
I never get time to read my book as my daughter always sleeps in my bed so I can't turn the light on without waking her up.
I haven't been able to sleep well last night or this morning.
My son was up pretty late so he will probably sleep for a few more hours.
The one day I can't sleep and now I forgot my book downstairs last night grrrr.
At least I have my ipod so I can be on mylot rather then just lay here for hours looking at the ceiling.

I always keep my tablets, book and laptop by my bed so when I can't sleep I can be on one of those til I do sleep. I haven't had issues falling asleep lately so that's good. I do toss and turn alot in my sleep but then eventually fall asleep. Hope mylotting helps you get sleepy so you can get more sleep before the kids wake up

Uhm... may I ask if your phone is a smart phone, shaggin?
Uhm... and if your iPod has internet access... uhh... why don't you have some books on one of those?
I've almost quit reading paper books now. I either use Wattpad on my phone and read books from there or I have the Kindle app on my phone, as well, so I read books through it, no matter where I am.
The Wattpad app even has a night time screen that reverses the colors so your words are white and the screen dark. The white words put out minimal light so you can read beside a sleeping person without waking them.

@DaddyEvil It would take up a lot less room in my house if I got rid of all the print books I have accumulated free over the years and read them on my ipod instead. I doubt I will ever do that though. Theres just something about holding a book in my hand and turning the pages that I love.

@shaggin I see...
That is what I said two years ago, too. After I realized how much simpler it is to have over 800 books stored on my SD card as well as books I get for free from Amazon stored on their cloud, I became much less picky about the medium I use when I want to read.
I would never suggest you should change the way you access or read your books, though. I do like to make sure people are aware of the availability and ease of alternatives, too.

I did get a little bit of catching up done but I was exhausted all day from not getting enough sleep. I took my kids to the school to ride bikes for an hour with my daughters friend. That was the only physical exercise I got was walking there and back and I am exhausted haha. I also got a sunburn.

I have all my favourite books stored in my iBook and I sleep with my iPad and my iPhone next to me. I woke up at 2am this morning and couldn't go back to sleep until 4am. I tried to be on here on such an unusual time for me.

Being on at a different usual time for you in mylot how did you do? It's neat to see when I write something who is awake at the time to comment.

Yes I am glad I had my ipod to use but when I can't sleepI prefer to read so I would have rather had my book.
