How do you keep from falling asleep while reading? I love reading, and I wish I could do more, but every time I sit down and try to read I go right to sleep. Very seldom do I get in the zone enough to finish a book "in one setting"

I don't keep from falling asleep while reading, much like I won't keep me from waking up and reading more tomorrow.

I usually read in bed. Sometimes I read up to 50 pages, sometimes I sleep in a few paragraphs. I don't really mind either way. Nature calls and you gotta rest.
