I really like to....

Sometimes I like to read a good novel before going off to sleep since it helps me to relax and puts me in the proper frame of mind. This necessarily does not mean that I have to do it right before going to sleep, but I do prefer to be as comfortable as possible when I read anything. I am usually comfortable and really relaxed when I am in bed. It is only when I am relaxed; I can concentrate more on the things that I am reading. It usually pushes out the days junk which has accumulated to such extent that it interferes with sleeping. Reading is a good stimulant for me and sleep usually overtakes me after I read about 10 pages or so and then I just close the book and fall asleep. But sometimes sleep eludes me even after reading for a great length of time. very night though. In these extreme situations I usually switch on the TV and try to find sometime to relax me enough so that I can fall asleep. I guess it is just a matter of habit.
