This unfortunately ruined reading for me for a long time. I associated reading with sleep, and it became a pavlovian response: a few pages in, any time of day under any circumstances, I'd start to nod off.



This is easy to fix. Just spend at least as much time reading on a treadmill or other exercise device as you do before bed and you will learn to discriminate very quickly.


This was what I was going to say! I read at all times, so I don't associate it with sleeping.


Good advice, but I bike for exercise. I doubt I can read and bike safely :)


You could try a stationary bike.


That sounds like a significant downgrade.


I suppose that depends on the quality of the material you're reading. I like the outdoors, but unless I'm somewhere that is both beautiful and novel, a good book makes my synapses buzz a lot more.


Audio books might be helpful here. I run and occasionally listen to them.


I've had this too.
