Reading Time: < 1 minutes
- Not everyone feels sleepy while reading.
- And for those who feel sleepy, it could be one or more of the several reasons experts provide.
- One of the most important reasons is the environment.
- Most of us like to read alone, sitting on a comfortable couch or tucked into our beds.
- Being on our own in a comfortable position lays a good foundation for inducing sleep.
- Reading also eases our minds and removes any preoccupations that may affect sleep.
- Also, the act of reading requires constant movement of eyes and concentration.
- Following the words and interpreting the meaning of the text can be tiring both for the mind and the muscles of the eyes.
- Experts propose various techniques for those looking to dodge sleep while reading.
- One is not to make the environment too cosy and warm.
- Waking yourself up — washing your face or doing a light exercise — could be another way.
- Extra lighting can also help as it reduces the strain on the eyes and keeps sleep at bay.
