I hate going to sleep. Feels like such a waste when I could be doing something much more productive with those hours. Then again, once I am in bed and asleep, I don't wanna get out. :P

Same, I only usually sleep for about 5-6 hours though and then catch up on sleep on the weekend.

I have to read before I go to bed,if I'm ridiculously knackered I'll read a few pages of Heat or some Take That article or whatever but I have to read something.

Anyone else never get to bed cos they keep going 'Oh I'll just read one more chapter'.

Yes! I'm so bad for it, the number of times I've read a book from start to finish in bed just because I couldn't put it down is obscene!

Maddox is a legend.

I read all the time, and my kids do as well. They've always had loads of books through all the stages of childhood, and now my oldest is 12, she's reading some of the same books as me. She prefers fiction, whilst my son prefers factual books.

I used to read before going to bed. Like the last book was Harry Potter and I enjoyed getting into it. I even laughed at it. It was enjoyable. However the problem is, is getting the book and actually finding time to start reading it first. Suppose the laptop and tv grip me more. I would say I am a bit impatient so if I am not already in the reading zone.. then well I just don't really read :S but everyday I do read my horoscope or dream book or the occasional magazine/newspaper. Should go back to reading a book properly though.

I love to read I read mostly chick lit but I do have some classics including 1984 all of the jane austins wuthering heights by emily bronte
And harry potter too

alcohol and drugs also bad for sleep.

I beg to differ. Smoking pot will send you off on a nice, long sleep that leaves you feeling great in the morning. It utilizes most of the same brain chemicals, anyway. I don't buy the 'it's a fake sleep' argument. Sleep is sleep, and Cannabis's mode of action makes it perfect as a sleep drug, not crap like sleeping pills that just put you out cold with no choice in the matter.
