Yes, very annoying as well. I have fallen asleep sometimes with the book still in my hand!.
Happens about 10 to 15 minutes after starting,usually when I'm reading in bed

If I am already tired then reading can make me more tired. I think because it's something familiar and comfortable. But if I'm not already tired then no, it doesn't affect me.

Every day. I read at different times during the day, and I always end my day with a book. If it's an interesting book, then I read until I can't anymore or fall asleep reading.

Yes I have fallen asleep while reading even if the book is good. I have fallen asleep reading while reading by the creek. If I put in a long day at work I have fallen asleep reading, holding my book.

It always feels like a battle to see which will win - me battling to reach the end of an exciting chapter or my eyelids as they try their best to get me to go to sleep! I always lose, but it is quite a funny thing to wake up with your book still open. Books are just so fun and hard to put down!
