I like to read in bed before going asleep, although my sleep timer is a little longer, 3 to 5 pages. Takes me months to finish a book. Unless I’m really into the story, then my sleep timer is 3 to 5 chapters.
25-40 pages in bed, lights out, set the timer on the clock for 15 minutes of music. I normally miss the end of the first song whether it’s Derek Trucks or Gordon Lightfoot.
This has never been my problem. Stopping reading and going to sleep is my problem. But after enough years of marriage I know to turn out the lights when my wife does(She reads almost as much as I do).

I could never get comfortable enough to read in bed. And my air would choke off if I dozed like that.

Most of the books I read are at least 500 pages
I’m glad I don’t fall asleep that quick or I would never get through them

As I don’t read in bed, this is not a problem for me. I fall asleep reading in a comfy chair.

About once a month I’m asleep when my wife comes to bed. I wake up, she falls asleep within two minutes, and I take 15-20 to get back to z-land.

Janis, I know of a couple of “alarms” that could interfere with the timer… ☺

I read in bed. Right after sex.

A bygone era, reading in bed…if there was a book with three paragraphs that could knock somebody out, it’d be a best-seller!

I don’t do anything in bed but sleep. Too uncomfortable to read and watch tv.

Must a volume of the tax code.

The only thing I read in bed is my wife – and that’s using the Braille method…
