Don't you just hate when you fall asleep reading

I love to read when i`am in bed late at night, it helps to relax and to fall asleep, however sometimes when your are close to the end, and your eyes are getting heavier, it´s an awful sensation dont being able to stay awake.

I do hate it. However, something I hate even more is falling asleep and having my book close...grrr..drives me crazy trying to find the spot I was at again ! There are just not enough hours in the day for reading, writing, and everything else I want to do...So many books, so little time.

I actually kind of like it. Some nights I have trouble sleeping,a nd it's nice to not have to think about falling asleep, but rather just doing it.

It happens to me all the time. But, I have a health problem that sometimes makes it difficult to read for a long time. My brain wants to shut itself down sometimes.

I have the exact same problem. I'll be so sleepy that I'll only remember parts of what I've read. It makes it so hard to figure out where to reread from. I'll usually find a spot, then realize I need to still go back a few pages because of everything that I'd missed.

What I hate most is getting all involved in a TV show & falling asleep on the last 10-15 minutes of it so I never know the outcome. Either that, or I wake up as they're rolling the credits. Bummer! Blessings, JoannH

Oh I hate to fall asleep reading or to be so sleepy that I have to go to sleep before I can finish the book! And I have fallen asleep with a book in my hands and had creases in my fingers from the book!

Ohhhhhhh, yeaaaahhhhhhh, lol.

Hello raydene...I actually entertained the thought of reading then falling asleep. At times, when my body is tired from the day's work, but my brain will still be functioning. Reading is one thing that really helps me to sleep. :)

i also had that experience before, i was reading this book and i fall asleep. when i woke up, i need to read again the previous chapter to refresh my memory...

Yes, I agree, but I don't have much problem about it. What I hate the most is that if I'm reading a novel, I can keep my eyes open. On the other hand, if I am studying, I just can't keep my eyes open. I always feel sleepy. I wish some school books are made like novels so that it will be very interesting.

That's the reason why I rarely read at night anymore....I can't read more than 3-4 pages. I love to read early in the morning, when I wake up on weekends!

I've been doing that lately. I've been reading the Harry Potter books for the first time through and I feel like not stopping, but then my eyes get tired and I drop off to sleep. When I wake up, my hands are still on the book. Its a very weird experience R! Love always, Wiiguy

Well yes this is a very common occurence that is there with everybody almost. I would suggest you that rather thinking of it as a problem, take it a bit positively that you atleast get a good sound sleep doing that, there are people who struggle to sleep at nights due to their own health shortcomings and crave for this most of the night. And, moreover when you do get the occurence of this overpowering sleep, just do that as it is more benefitial to your overhealth too, it is a well known fact that you do always sleep when you feel like, not just for the sake of it, so i feel nothing wrong in it.

Oh yes I hate that too but I also read just to fall asleep anyway. I have troubles to fall asleep sometimes and reeding helps a lot to fall asleep. I read romantics books than becaurse they don't interest me that much. Exiting books I keep for during the day or the weekends so I can read them without faling a sleep or being woried that I have to wake up early the next morning.

Yes, this has happened to me many times. The book is so good, and I just cannot quit reading, even though I am tired. But, the body always wins out.

I often fall asleep reading. I won't even be tired, I'll just start reading and I'll be full of energy. Then, I'll keep reading and after awhile I start getting a headache. If I'm in any kind of position where I could fall asleep, I might end up falling asleep. Otherwise, I'll just keep reading and end up with a headache. I've never really read something that I just couldn't put down, but usually this will happen when I'm forced to read something for school.

LOL.. It happens to me all the time. My other half likes to bug me because if I go upstairs to lay down and read while he's finishing up on the computer, 9 times out of 10 by the time he gets up there, I'm fast asleep still holding the book. He'll take the book out of my hands (and usually lose my page while he's doing that) and put it on the nighttable for me.

NO actualyy its opposite in my life i read to fall asleep as its make me get a lovely sleep whn iam alone and its hard to sleep...why do u hate that infact dont hate anything,,,,and if u want to just hate,,,,,,,the hatered.
