With a special dedication to my mom who the other day told me she didn't sleep well. In the course of the conversation it turned out that she simply went to sleep at 5am after having finished it.
What can I say? I've been there too. I guess it's in the genes.
What about you? Do you read till late?

@AuthorJMac [indiepocalypse.social] I usually have some special book to read before sleeping that is boring enough that I know I can easily stop after reading a few pages.

Everything else, only gets picked up if I don't have to wake up at a specific time the next morning.

@valhalla I like your approach, though I don't think I'd be keen on wasting time on a boring book. I'd rather sleep :D

@AuthorJMac [indiepocalypse.social] yeah, it has to be a very specific combination of boring read on an interesting topic (lately for me they have been books by roman-era authors), and even there it's not 100% foolproof, sometimes there are parts that are too interesting to only read a bit at a time :)

@valhalla Oooh, yeah, I can relate to that. The subject interests you (at least partially), but the way the book is written makes it hard to get through.
