I absolutely love reading in bed! It helps me wake up in the morning and calm down in the evening. The only problem is that I often find I fall asleep reading (often with the book nearly on my face) and I tend to lose my spot.

Bed is the optimal time for reading, if you're single anyway.

Yes yes yes. Although, waking up with a book on your face isn't fun.

I love reading in bed! I can read all day in bed if I have nothing to do and need a break. Usually I will at least move to the living room at some point for a little bit though.

I do sometimes, but I try to only sleep in bed. Doing other things can make it harder to sleep.

Yes, I find it very relaxing to read in bed unless I am really tired and then I sometimes fall asleep while reading!

Yes, reading in bed can be relaying. I used to read in bed to help me fall asleep faster.

Yes I love to. It helps me relax after a long day and gets me sleep too.

I love to read in bed but too much as I end up staying up too late and also my brain gets too hyped up with the story and I can't sleep!

If I attempt to read in bed, I find that my attention span is quite short, and I also begin to feel drowsy.
Since I read to engage my mind, I feel I am trying to go in opposite directions at the same time.
I prefer my little "study" with its desk and comfy chair and book shelves, it lends a certain ambience to the occasion, and allows me to focus on the words in front of me, instead of starting to drift off.
My wife, on the other hand, always reads in bed.

I ADORE reading in bed. I do it all the time, no matter if it's close to bed time or not.

I love to read in bed, surrounded by snacks and treats. There's nothing better than cozying under the blankets (when it's cold) propped up on a mound of pillows with a good book.
