If the bed is too soft and inviting, then you are too old! ;)

I woke up this morning at 4:50am! Couldn't get back to sleep so I decided if I'm going to lie here I may aswell do something useful so I read two chapters of A Place of Greater Safety and then went back to sleep for two hours.

So the answer is yes, I definitely do like to read in bed :lol:

I always read in bed... can't get to sleep without it. Sometimes I find myself struggling to stay awake because I want to read more, but then I remind myself that I have to get up at 430 AM to get ready for work.

PS: I am chicken sh...t and don't read any scary books anytime. I wouldn't be under the duvet, I would be under the bed.

I read in bed so much, that I have gotten used to using my tablet as my second pillow! :)

All I ever do is read in my bed. I'm not a fan of being in a chair or a couch because I twist into a lot of positions while reading. It would just be uncomfortable for me (plus I like the privacy of my room to freak out about characters/scenes/etc).

Sometimes not always, if the book will be interesting, i will keep reading or thinking about it and will not sleep. :( :roll:

I love reading in bed. When the book is really good and I know that I have to wake up early the next morning I find myself reading through the night. I also go to sleep and wake up to read a few more chapters.

I love reading in bed, I read in bed more than anywhere else. But if I don't have a bed to lay in and just read, I find someplace that I can get comfortable and is a little out of the way so that people don't feel the need to interrupt me.

For the most part, reading in bed is all I do.

I wonder if it is true when "they" say that if you read in bed that it is harder to fall asleep at night?
