Does this happen to you? It's after lunch, and you're reading a book, and you start to fall asleep. Perhaps the book falls, or your eyes close while you're holding the book.
So you put the book down to take a nap, and what happens? You wake up!
This happens to me often, and I figure it's because as soon as I stop reading, I start thinking about something that I'm going to do or something else that wakes me up.
I found a solution: Listen to an audiobook. Choose a book that's not exciting and is something you don't need to follow. For example, Stephen Fry's autobiography is excellent, but I don't care if I miss parts:
I put the volume down low, pay attention, and soon I'm asleep, sometimes for too long.
