School night reading is just fine, just try not to let it turn into early school morning reading. :lol:

I love reading in bed! Like many others I tend to get really sleepy and fall asleep, however. It is so annoying because I usually try to dedicate thirty minutes to reading before I go to sleep. It helps when I sit in my recliner and read. Someone suggested reading certain books in bed I think I will try it.

Anyone else feel like there are a ton of threads about this exact topic? I can't even remember how many times I have said something about reading in bed or reading before going to sleep, yet here I am again talking about it...

Yes... Reading in bed helps me to unwind from a busy day. Sometimes I find myself reading way into the night.. just can't help myself.

Not really in bed, under the covers, but I'll lie on top of it on my stomach and read, I just like that better. I listen to music to help me sleep instead of read.
I love to read!

My top 3 fave books:
1. Phantom of the Opera- Gaston Leroux
2. Phantom- Susan Kay
3. Speak- Laurie Halse Anderson

Yes, and I enjoy it very much! There's something magical about snuggling under the covers in darkness with only a book light as a beacon to chase shadows away.

I love reading in bed. It is where I spend most of my time reading. I find it harder to read when i have to sit up. Laying down is where its at.
