1) Fix Your Vision
If you're having trouble seeing the words in a book you may need glasses.
And if you have glasses but are getting headaches or tired eyes while reading, you might need to update your current prescription.
It also helps to read with lots of light around you.

2) Improve Your Body Posture
Poor body posture restricts oxygen, reduces focus, and concentration.
While reading:
• Maintain a straight spine while reading to avoid back pain.
• Keep your head straight and avoid tilting your neck
• Hold the book up a little under eye-level

3) Recharge Your Mental Batteries
It's difficult to read when you're tired.
Try to get 7-8 hours of sleep a night so you recharge your batteries.
You can also take a short nap (20-30 minutes) or have a cup of tea to help sharpen your focus.

4) Deal With Hunger & Thirst
It's hard to focus on a book when you're starving or dehydrated.
Have an apple, nuts, or some other healthy snack.
And drink water. Since your brain is mostly water, drinking it helps you think, focus & concentrate better.

Try journaling to get your worries out of your head, meditating to reflect on them, or taking action to solve them.
Then go back to reading.
