Yes I like to read while lying on the bed. But I cannot read for a longer time as that would reduce the concentration on reading.

I do! And I think that's where I usually read. Especially if it's a long book (like fantasy books, which is way longer than other book genres).

I prefer to read on bed during the day, because in the night I will definitely fall asleep.

Yes, I read in bed before going to sleep. That's about the only time I read, unless I'm in a doctor's waiting room or on a plane/train etc.

Yes, I do read in bed, a lot. Should I, probably not. I'm pretty good about keeping the blue light glasses on when I use a computer after sunset, but I still probably should not be reading PDF books right up until I put my head down. It's a habit though.

I used to read nobles and poems in bed at night. What a memory that was. Just missed those.

I like reading in bed. For most of my life I did most of my reading in bed. I find it relaxing to read before going to sleep.

Since having a family, I struggle to read in bed at night. I'm too tired and can’t seem to stay awake. I fall asleep after a couple of paragraphs. I was hardly reading at all. :(

I started consciously making time to read at other times of the day. Now, I sometimes wake up earlier than I need to and read in bed in the morning before I get up. Other times I find quiet moments while I am having a coffee break to read for a bit. Having changed my habits, I'm reading a lot more. I make much better progress through books now that I am reading while I am actually awake! That makes me much happier. :techie-studyinggray:

I love reading in bed. Normally I'll curl up with my book before I'm ready to sleep, but ready to relax for the night. Next to me is my dog and a cup of tea. Then when I'm ready I can just go to sleep.

I read in bed until I start to fall asleep. It doesn’t matter how good the book is, if I lay in bed too long, I am going to sleep. Usually I end up in the nook of my couch to finish my reading.

Reading is not the same if you're not comfortable, and what is more comfortable that your bed?

I love reading in bed. It helps me to unwind at night so that I can go to sleep.

Yes! It’s the best way to begin and start the day. It is also said that it’s a good way to wind down your brain and help you fall asleep. I even like reading in the middle of the night, if I can’t sleep.

Reading in bed is okay, but I prefer to read sitting in a chair or standing at my counter. Sometimes my bed is too comfortable and it puts me right to sleep.

I read while in bed. I have discovered it helps me fall asleep faster.
