In reply to Karen Rought. Yep, I was surprised, too. But it makes sense when you think about it. It was hard not watching my iPad in bed, but I got used to it. And I do the same thing as far as going to sleep. I'm tired, I want to go to sleep, but I have to basically lay and wait.

WOW. I had no idea. I always play/surf on my iPhone before I go to bed. I don’t have trouble staying asleep, but I do have a lot of difficulty feeling tired enough to fall asleep. I usually just have to lay there until I can fall asleep. Sometimes I get bored and get back on my phone, which obviously only prolongs the process.

In reply to Valentine Logar. Good for you. I haven't read a print book in a while simply because I like the instant gratification of eReaders. Thanks!

In reply to Kassandra Lamb. You're welcome. It's definitely helped me with my sleep. I'm not waking up nearly as much. Good luck!

In reply to Jess Witkins. Night is about the only time I can read, but I always have a light. The back light gives me a headache if I try to read on the iPad. My issue was watching Netflix. I don't blame you with the limiting electronics. It is a little scary to think the problems they may be causing. Thanks!

I have always slept with a night light (pstd). I leave my cell and my e-reader upstairs in my office at night and stay off my computer at least an hour before going to bed. I read real books at night. Guess that is why I always sleep my required 4.5 hours per night.

Great information though.

Hmm, I don’t usually use my Kindle Fire at bedtime. Tend to read on the older kindle most often. But I do sometimes play a word game on the Fire, when I don’t feel like reading. I think I will cut that out. Thanks for the info, Stacy!

How interesting. I will use my lamp from now on. I try not to read too often with my kindle at night anyway. I keep hearing things about electronics and our health and I just feel better keeping them limited anyway. Mostly that’s with cell phones, but who knows really? I like my kindle for the aspect I can store so many books on it and its easier for travel.

In reply to Lauralynn Elliott.

Lauralynn, that’s how I started watching SPN, too. I am almost at the end of Season 5, but I know what happens every season (including 8) cause I am a spoiler queen, lol.

Brooke, haven’t watched The Glades but LOVE Bones. Booth and Brennan have great chemistry:)

In reply to Stacy Green. No, you didn't. That sucks. When I upgrade, I will have to really upgrade because I have a first generation Nook. And I'm sure I will go to Kindle. Paperwhite does look like good option.
