Whenever I read a book, I start feeling sleepy after a while no matter how interested I am in the topic. I have also heard others to have similar experience. Why does this happen?
In: Biology
I think there are a few possible reasons for this. In reverse to your situation, my psych actually recommended that I physically pick up and read a book (not my phone or kindle) to induce sleep. It’s the repetitive eye movement back and forth that eventually causes fatigue and the need to rest.
(For clarification, she recommended to physically pick up a book or magazine because it would cause a greater span of left to right eye movement than reading from a small screen)
