When reading in general, or reading as a hobby, is discussed, the focus is normally on all the benefits it holds for the reader. You may sometimes wonder whether reading is this “magic activity” with no negative effects. Although reading as a hobby has many benefits, excessive reading might cause negative effects for some readers. These not only include physical aspects like eyesight-degrading, and sore neck and back muscles, but also mental and social aspects like adverse interpersonal behavior. Fortunately, most negative effects can be prevented or rectified. In this article, we’ll have a look at some of these negative effects and how they can be prevented, rectified, or managed. Although some readers read as much as a book a day and rarely ever experience any negative effects, excessive reading may have negative effects as well. Generally speaking, readers don’t experience only the benefits or only the negative aspects, but a combination of both. It is a matter of managing the good and the bad. When managed effectively, the benefits overshadow the negatives when it comes to reading. It is almost like medicine that prevents or cures an illness but might also cause bad side effects for some. But it is important for frequent readers to take note of these potential negative effects of excessive reading. If you know what they are and what symptoms will normally indicate that you are becoming prone to one of these negative effects, you can take counteractions to prevent further “infestation.” Let’s look at eleven of the most important possible negative effects of excessive reading. Poor or degraded eyesight is often attributed to excessive reading. This may be so but is generally only true if you read when there is not enough light or you hold your book in such a way that you put a strain on your eyes when reading. Then it can, in the long run, cause poor eyesight. One of the first signs indicating that it is in fact your reading habits that affect your eyes is when you are experiencing blurry eyesight while you’re reading or just after you’ve read your book. When this happens, the first thing to do is to deliberately ensure that your book is always more than one foot away from your eyes when you read. Then make sure that when you read during the daytime you have enough natural light. And remember, when you don’t have natural light or you are reading during nighttime, a person needs on average, at least a 450 lumens (40 watts) light to read comfortably.

Read More »For instance, when you are in the staff room during lunch and want to use most of your lunchtime to read your book, first socialize for a few minutes with other staff members and then tell them that they must excuse you as you want to read your book. Ask them to tap you on your shoulder to get your attention while you are reading. To lose track of time when reading is a problem that has the possibility of causing serious problems. Some readers get so involved in the book they are reading that they don’t notice the time. An office worker, for instance, can get so intrigued by a book during lunchtime that he doesn’t notice when he has to go back to the office. This can be seen by the supervisor as negligence. But it can have more serious consequences if you have to attend an important meeting and get so intrigued in your reading when you are waiting in the reception room, that you completely lose track of time and miss the first part of the meeting! Fortunately, situations like this can be prevented by simply setting an alarm on your mobile. Sore muscles might be a negative effect of reading. When you spend lots of time sitting down when reading, you might from time to time experience sore muscles, especially in your neck, shoulders, and back. Generally, these pains are a result of sitting incorrectly when you are reading. You can avoid the sore muscles by simply always making sure that you sit correctly when you read. The best position to read is with your feet on the ground in such a way that the chair doesn’t cut off the blood circulation, and keeps your back supported and straight. Your book should be on eye level without bending your head. To achieve this you can support your elbows with pillows. The storylines of novels frequently change your perspective on real-world events. Most of the time it is a positive change, but reading can also give people negative and unfounded perceptions if they do not distinguish between fiction and real life.

Read More »Often, the result is that after the person has read the book he or she feels so guilty about the neglected things that the feeling of guilt overshadows the joy of reading the book. Fortunately, if this is a problem you have, there is a solution. Plan your days and stick to the schedules. Also, discuss your hobby with your family and explain why you spend so much time on your hobby. When they understand your passion, and you are consciously making time for interpersonal relations and house chores, you don’t have to feel guilty anymore. And for the repairs at home – phone the handyman! A serious negative effect of reading is that because you enjoy it so much to “live” in the fictional world of the stories you read, you want to escape to a fictional world whenever you can’t cope with your problems in the real world. Instead of trying to resolve your real-world problems you ignore them and escape to a “better” world by reading a book. The more you get intrigued by the book’s “better” world, the more you forget your real problems. A person who uses this technique to hide from problems uses reading in the same way a drug-addicted person will use drugs to “escape” from reality. If you don’t have the self-discipline to put down your book to get enough sleep your reading can lead to chronic insomnia. As you just can’t put down the book before you’ve read it up to the end, you can easily go without sleep for a whole night, or only sleep for a very short period. This can result in being a very tired person at work the next day and if this is happening frequently, your productivity can be influenced over time. When you are reading too much a day and lose track of the time you easily eat either too much or too little. You may be eating snacks while you read and when you are finished with your book you are not hungry and go without a nutritional meal. Or you don’t have time to prepare a good meal and just order comfort fast food. As reading is a physically passive activity, you don’t get a lot of movement when reading for long periods. If you read much and don’t make time to exercise by taking a walk or doing a workout in your home or gym, your body will get weaker over time.
