Do you have a habit of reading when you are going to sleep?

Yah, I have this habit as well and my mom used to say that it's really bad for my eyes. I am wearing glasses now but I dun think it's because of that, so maybe it's an old wive's tale. There's also another adage about reading books in proper fluorescent lighting and stuff and I was wondering how come nobody's eye sight became bad before the invention of electricity?

hi... my favorite position of reading a book is lying on bed... i dont like reading while sitting... i more comfortable with the book close to my eyes.. well, i make sure that there's a light on... and also i dont wash my eyes if it's already tired... i had bad habits before... w/c i tried to change...LOL...like reading with only the flashlight on...that gets my dad mad...LOL

i haven't but i think it is a good habit and i should starts it in my life also as if you are in fond of sleep and you couldn't sleep then it will help you in sleeping. I have ever feel it that after studying eyes becomes tired and we feel sleepy.

everybody in my household reads before they go to sleep. for me its pretty much the only time during a day that i get to sit down and read for a few hours. which i do everynight. lying down while reading wont hurt your eyes. i suppose it might if you kept the book constantly right up against your face. the biggest thing that factors into that old wives tale is the lighting im sure. bad lighting can be detrimental to your eyesight if you are always reading in that type of light. so even if it is just a little bedside lamp it still needs to be as bright as if you were reading in your living room.

Yes,i like reding when i going to sleep.I dont know why.But i need to read before i sleep.I f not read book i cannot sleep.
