Oh, one more thing. It can't be an eyesight issue, because reading info on websites or forum discussions doesn't make me sleepy. Only books. It must have something to do with how my brain processes it. Forums and websites are information. They don't relax me.

My case might be a little extreme, but I know it's not that uncommon for reading to be sleep inducing. I've heard people recommend reading to someone who's having trouble falling asleep. So that must mean reading is known to have that effect.

At any rate, I would love to know if there's a way we can train ourselves to stay awake longer while reading.

PS: the reason audiobooks are worse for me, is because I'm easily distracted while in auditory mode, so I have to sit still and shut my eyes, which is not good for staying awake.
