Does anyone else try to read in their sleep?

[FriarFritz]

So, last night I distinctly remember turning my phone off, taking off my glasses, and setting them both next to my bed. Then I went to sleep. However, when I woke up this morning, I had my glasses on and my phone was in my bed. As far as I can tell, I decided, while sleeping, to read a book. And I've done this before. Many times. I have no idea why.

So, does anyone else try to read in their sleep? Or any other weird things?

Never like that, but I remember reading in my dream. More specifically finishing the book I was reading at the time, (with a whacky ending, because it was a dream) and then waking up and being really confused. 

[FriarFritz]

Ah, yes. I've done that too. Not necessarily finishing the book, but definitely continuing it. I think I've even done it with books I'd read before.

[Karger]

I compose weird fanfiction in my sleep?

Do you remember anything of what you read, though? That would be cool. Like feeling Deja Vu when you actually do read it.

Once I dreamed I was reading and then woke up lying on my back with my hands reaching upwards like I was holding a book above my face. I recall turning pages in my dream, but I don’t know if I did it in real life. 

I also had another dream that I was reading Oathbringer (this was close to its release, so I was pretty excited), and Shallan was spying on Mraize while he was meeting with someone, and he revealed the secret of the Ghostbloods. I have no memory of what that secret was, sadly. It was strange, though, because I was actually reading in the dream, not experiencing it or watching it play out like a movie. The sentences were actually created by my brain and were coherent (now, if only I could replicate this in real life).

I once fell asleep in my room and woke up two floors down in the basement. . . I think I sleepwalked.

Clearly you were transported by some magical being. You must study it and determine whether 'tis friend or foe.

[Bearer of all agonies]

Yes, this was my second thought.

I have never read in my sleep, but I have tried to read in bed before I go to sleep but after I’ve told my parents I would go to bed. I stayed up until midnight multiple times.

I have read multiple times in my dream, but I never have "sleepread".

 

[Bearer of all agonies]

So I have a kindle, and I read on my side, and I change the page by just tapping on the screen. So sometimes I’m reading late at night and I fall asleep, and I wake up a few pages later. Yeah think my body just falls into a rhythm of tapping the page, so even when I’m asleep I read.

I definitely fell asleep reading WoR release-week, woke up at a random time and had a minor debate with myself if I should keep using the book as a pillow or put it away and use my actual pillow. It wasn't half bad

I've also read in my dreams multiple times. Each time, it was a very strange continuation of a book that I was reading at the time, but it was at least semi-coherent. I've also read when I was in that strange state that I get into sometimes when I've just woken up but I vividly imagine my actions (like in a dream) instead of actually doing them. My Kindle was in my bed, so I tried to move my hand to get it out to read, but instead I just imagined it and read a very strange version of the book I was reading until I could persuade my body that I was in the real world. and actually read.
