There was a long pause followed by a reply “Yes.” My point was that I had always fallen asleep when I sat down to read. Always. I remember struggling to stay awake when I tried to read Steinbeck novels in the late 1950′s when I was in highschool in Dundee, Michigan. I even had to read the most exciting book of all, The Time Machine, by H.G. Wells in bits and pieces even though it was outwardly easy to read and not that long. I find no humor when people talk about reading books to fall asleep! And this is correctable by treating the responsible Irlen Syndrome with a specific tint applied to eyeglass lenses or contacts which is unique just for you!
