For me . . . I think my mind is distracted from the recurring thoughts of the day. The annoying things I can't stop thinking about; I need to tell my coworker he's a jerk, but how . . . How can I save money for the big trip I want this summer . . . What's wrong with my car . . . etc. So the mind has a chance to relax and zonk you're out. That's just my theory.

Reading can trigger a relaxation response in the brain, causing drowsiness. Additionally, the repetitive eye movements involved in reading can be soothing and make you feel sleepy. Lastly, if you're reading in a comfortable position or in a warm environment, these factors can also contribute to making you feel like dozing off.

well the reason is sometimes the book is boring. I believe your brain is not being entertained. When you are reading a suspenseful book, you and your brain are being entertained. So, if you are reading a part in a book that is just "mellow", then your brain says "goodnight".

How do you fall asleep when your not tired?

One way to fall asleep really quickly is to read. Just read and read and read and read. After that if you really can't sleep just close your eyes and think of, or recite a poem. If THAT doesn't work, than close your eyes and get comfortable. Then, challenge yourself to stay completely still. Don't move at all. If you get bored, than smile and think about what your going to do the next day. Sweet Dreams!
