I like to do some light reading before bed. I always intend to limit myself to 30 minutes, but if it's a really interesting book, I may read for up to 2 hours. I got into the habit of reading before bed when I was very young. My parents would read to me in bed before I could read on my own. In my later childhood, I would read books with a flashlight under my covers after my parents put me to bed.

Yes, I love settling down at the end of a long day in my comfy bed and reading myself towards sleep. Actually, I'd even say that it's pine of my favourite moments in a day and the best way to finish the day.

Most of the time I spend my time reading in bed and sometimes I read outdoors.

Reading in bed is pretty hit or miss for me. It all depends on my mood and, strangely enough, the temperature of the room. It determines whether I'll feel comfortable in bed and focus on the book or whether I'll squirm and adjust my position, which is distracting.

Wow, I didn't realize something like this actually existed outside of movies. This is absolutely poetic.

I love to read in bed. When I cant sleep over my husbands snoring, :lol: I read until I start to dose off. Nothing better than snuggling up with my puppies and a good book in bed.

I love the idea of that Sunset Dimmer! At home, I usually read on my reclining couch and often fall asleep with the light on so I think I need something like that!

Snap! I also feel like it's nice to do when you're getting ready to go to sleep so you can unwind from the day!

I'm always reading in bed before I go to sleep. How much reading I get done depends on how sleepy I am and how early I have to go in to work the next morning.

I love to read in bed and find it helps me to relax and fall asleep. Unless it’s a really stimulating read then I could be up for hours really engrossed in the book. But reading before bed is really the only time I can read.

Reading in bed with light music... That's what I love.
