Answer 3

Ah, you speak of harmony and resonance versus dissonance. You speak to reading something pleasurable or intriguing to read over that of a dry text on, say, Economics; rather, something that speaks to the harmonies to which both the mind and the greatest essence of you reach an accord.

When a writing is enriching to read, it does provide a focal point for the mind to choose to engage the reading either with rapt attention or a response as if to give measure of the overall body's energy level, in which case no sooner than you begin engaging the text, you as quickly lapse into a slumber and off you go into the sleep worlds. As quickly, that higher aspect comes on duty, knowing that now the mind has been transfixed either by the reading itself or by an overall fatigue of the body: the mind prefers always to take the least path of resistance, whether result is good or bad. In any case, when reading, the mind now has something to do, to prattle with, to engage it, whereas the higher self can now get on with the higher works that takes in the concerns within but also measures and takes in the world about it as if a barometer of what ensues in the outer world.

And this is the reason why it is good to "sleep on it" as one might say. Truly great things are occurring when this is done, at all levels—from healing and recoveries of the body to considerably more benefits. Thus reading is an easy catalyst to 'inspire' this into happening, for one is truly breathing in the highest energies from the inner worlds, which product is balance with both the inner and outer world, for which sleeping is the natural boon and a most facile vehicle to use to get there. The word "inspire" comes from the Latin word "spirare," meaning to breathe, which word itself lends insights to the word "spirit."

Answer 4

Because it doesn't stimulate them, or could be that it is just late. Speaking of late, it's 3:31 AM where I live... why am I up? Time for me to close my book, turn off my computer, turn off my lights, and go to sleep, I'm sleepy!

My advice would be to find a book that does! Or attempt to read it in a manner that provides more movement within your mind.

Night.

Answer 5

You're tired and sleepy to begin with, or the book is plain boring. Reading is a hobby that's relaxing too.

Answer 6

If you weren't interested in the storyline to begin with or the book was too boring to really be interesting, those types of books could probably make a rock sleep. If you read something both interesting and fast paced then I, if I were reading it, would stay up until I finished reading it. Something like the books written by Matthew Reilly, Jack DuBrul, Paul Christopher or the team of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Those books would keep me up and reading either until I finished or until my eyelids grew to heavy to stay up by themselves. Enjoy!!! Happy New Year too!

Answer 7

It could be eyestrain due to lighting issues. I find reading at certain times during the day when the sun is glarey can affect my eyes and make me feel sleepy.

Answer 8

Simple...it slows down your own thoughts enough and turns you into an observer. I know when I read, I see the images in my head at some point and stop seeing the words. However, if a passage is particularly "wordy", I do tend to lose track of the mini-movie and I quickly slide into oblivion.

Hope this helps.

Answer 9

Reading uses the brain and the eyes together. Seriously thinking can be hard work. Alternately, reading, especially before bed, can be relaxing, calming, and tiring.

Answer 10

eye strain and concentration or a bad book
