If I start reading before bed, I'll still be turning pages until the sun comes up. 😮‍💨

I read complicated and dry books as that helps me. I’m reading a Roman history book and an old philosophy book at the moment that I barely make it through a handful or two of pages of either before I’m drowsy. But if I pick up a brilliant piece of literature, I’ll read until dawn with zero issue.

Try reading The Hobbit lol. For whatever reason I can’t get more than a few pages at a time before I start nodding. It seems exciting but something about the writing style puts me to sleep.
