Do you get tired when you read a book?

[Nocturnal]

Does anyone have any idea what it means if you often get tired when you have to read a book? I was just reading this book on beginning programming and I just started to get really tired.

I get really tired when I read... I hate it.

part of it is probably eye strain, there is no such thing as a perfect prescription

yes, i do. it's a big problem for classes.. heh.... but if i like it, i don't get tired.. just my eyes a bit. i guess it's more i feel sleepy when i have to read to learn.

It depends on the book, obviously. I generally read non-fiction books, so the feeling of empowerment from newly assimilated knowledge generally keeps me awake.

Yeah I usually read with my contacts on. And I'm near sighted meaning I can only see good near. I know I should not be wearing my contact lens while I read up close but I can't help it. I can't take them off just to read

What are these books that you speak of?

 

[Kadarin]

Most likely it means the book is either boring as hell, or requires a heightened awareness to comprehend, which can tire you out over a period of time.

When I read my Organic Chem or Cell Bio books, I get pretty tired...

yes. I usually start yawning before I can ever finish one page.

try reading 'issues in teaching numeracy in primary schools' I fall asleep after an hour of reading those, whereas I can spend 10-12 hours solid on something I enjoy.

I'm always tired, moreso when I read.

Reading helps me sleep.

I don't read books very often.
