Reading Vs. Sleep

If you like to read and sleep, then I believe you will be able to relate to this one with me.

You just got home from a long evening at work and you just want to relax. So you decide to take a shower and then to get into your soft comftable bed to read that book you have been trying to finish for awhile. Keep in mind, you are wide awake at this point in time.

So, you start to read and you are really enjoying the book. Best of all, you are finally relaxed but far from sleepy. However, after about fifty pages, your eyes are to droup and you find yourself rereading the same paragraph about ten different times before you even realize that you are doing it. You look at the clock to find you have only been reading for about twenty minutes.

Determined, you force yourself to keep reading. After about an hour, you are content with what you have read and the amount you have read. So you put down your book, turn off your light and go to sleep.

The next night you spend thirdy minutes trying to remember where you stopped reading and what you read about the night before. By this time, you are too tired to read even though you were fully awake ten seconds ago.

What wins? Reading or Sleeping?
