I have books set aside specifically for bed time reading. The only issue becomes having to figure out where you were just before you dropped off.

I really like to read books on my bed. My bed is like sacred place for me, is the place where I feel more confortable. However the perfect place to read is outdoors, Is really relaxing. I would like to have a big garden with a font and a huge tree to sit down and read the whole day.
The Only problem that I found about reading in the bed is that my arms get tired. But when I need to relax and take away all my problems I just turn on a candle and open my windows and let the book take me to another world.

I love to read in bed, but read in other places as well in every free moment.

I love reading in bed. It's a good way to unwind and settle down, at least for me it is. Only problem is if I am reading a really good book, then I am too interested in the book and don't want to go to sleep or can't because my mind is going a mile a minute wondering what happens next or pondering what I've already read.

Reading in bed is one of my favorite things to do although I sometimes find it hard to get comfortable and have to sit up or change laying positions.

Love reading in the bed. and even more wonderful is falling asleep while reading. then the dream happens which is either a visual of the book or the continuation in your own version. either way it is really nice

Nope. Funny, huh? I prefer reading sitting on a recliner.

Its the one and only place I ever read or even use the computer.
My bed is an island.

I absolutely love to read while I am in bed. Sitting up in the comfort of your bed, in pjs, relaxing for the night. It is one of the most perfect times to read. Comes second best to reading outside during a nice overcast day. Though I think will have to look into that sunset lamp. It sounds very interesting and useful.

Yes, almost always about an hour before going to sleep. Another positive habit I took up recently. I used to be online right before I get ready to fall asleep. Not anymore. I've learned it's not good for sound sleep. Plus, I get to read a lot during weekdays as well as on weekends, which was a hard thing to do before.

All the time. It's probably my first choice of places to read.

I read in bed all of the time, and the chair, and the couch, and the supermarket line.... I may have a reading problem.

Love it. Its also part of my night time ritual of settling in to sleep.
