Every night. Only way I can get my brain to slow down so that I don't lie awake all night.

Yep. Every night I read in bed. Part of my routine. Helps to slow down my mind so I can go to sleep.

Sometimes I do, but more often than not I sit on the couch and read. I find that the couch is more comfy for me.

I actually cannot fall asleep without reading for an hour first. It is how I unwind at the end of the day, and it is much more effective than a beer.

I love reading in bed, just relaxing and getting lost in the book. But it is not as comfortable for my back as it is for my mind, so I don't do it very often.

Not really. I guess I would read in bed if that was my only choice, but i'd rather be downstairs on the couch.

I love to read in bed, as it usually sends me off into a lovely sleep. My Kindle is perfect too as I don't have to have a light on. I read mostly in bed.

I always read in bed. Except of course, when I am reading a really exciting novel, then I'll probably be pacing around my room.

Reading in bed is something that I've done since I was a small child. It's a habit, but it is also relaxing. I may not read more than a few minutes depending on how tired I am, or if I am not feeling well. It takes my mind of the stress of the day and I am able to drift off.

This is a no no for me, I will be fast asleep before I know it. When I was younger I could curl up with a good book and sit up all night long. Now that I'm older and have problems with my eyes, I dare not try that now or the book will never get read. Even using my ereader I still can't do it.

No I need to have proper posture when reading. I don't even like reading on anything soft, like a couch. I usually read at my desk on a hard wood chair.

I always read in bed. It's the only time I get to read for the most part. Sometimes on long car rides too.

Of course! It's great being under the blankets with a good book, a warm cup of tea and a few biscuits (either Blue Ribands or custard creams). Even better if the cat snuggles up beside me :D
