It happens, that's why I try to just get a few bites. Because then I get so immersed in the story that I don't pay attention to anything else around. Just when I start getting sleepy, I check the clock and decide whether it's bedtime or not.

Having a spill-proof tumbler is a great idea, for water, coffee or tea. I have a collection to choose from and it's very helpful, not just when reading but also when you need a clean workspace too.

I don't like to eat while reading. It distracts from both activities, plus it can get the book dirty.

It depends on what I'm reading, to be honest. If it's something that I can put down and come back to without feeling like I'm missing out on something, I prefer to eat and watch some videos instead. If I can't put down whatever I'm reading, that's when I eat and read.

One way of entertaining myself is through eating and if I partner it with reading, the moment will be perfect.

I have this habit of snacking on berries while I read! Blueberries are my fave✨

Yes, even though I always end up making a whole lot of mess around me and the book. But it's worth it. Having to do two amazing things at once, its worth the sacrifice of cleaning and tidying after.

Yes I do. I am a fan of foods, and I usually eat hamburgers or pizza when I write during the night.
