Use these three steps simultaneously:

1) Read some books that are enticing and hold you to your seat.

2) Drink caffenaited coffee, a hot beverage like Milo or a sugary soft drink

3) Have a break every 15 mins for about 5 minutes. Remember that your eyes need to take a break. That is why at times you feel sleepy.

probably b/c of the repetitive motion of your eyes going back and forth.....sort of like when a hypnotist puts someone under by waving the pocket watch back and forth

my sister told me that the reason i fall asleep is because I'm sleepy or because the books not exciting enough.

Because you're using your brain for once.

You're reading the wrong book. Find something interesting, that will keep you awake. Try the Harry Potter series.

Usally reading a book is for entertainment not falling asleep... May be you should ask a librarian what book you will enjoy more. Try different genres of books. Eventually you'll find a book you really like and find other books like it! Good luck

Zzzzz (Oops)

you often feel sleepy while reading a book because you mind is trying to concentrate and pick up on the information....happens to me all the time in math class

Reading is something you have to get used to I think. Don't read in bed. Don't read a book you don't like (unless you have to for school.) Most likely you're just reading because you have to for a class, and that's always hard to get through. Give it a chance though, it's probably deserving of your teacher's praise.

You are probably actually tired but don't realize it. Doing everyday tasks, cooking, cleaning watching tv all stimulate your body and mind preventing you from becoming tired. When you read a book, your mind finally has a chance to slow down a bit, and so it tries to go to sleep.

Or maybe you just have a boring book.

I would think it's because you're used to a somewhat hectic schedule, so when you find time to wind down and take a breather, you get tired. That's what happens to me too.
