Why is that i can't sit or lay down and read a book without closing my eyes and napping?

Eye strain or more: You should be examined to see if your eyes are farsighted, or if over 40 - whether presbyopia has kicked in. In either case the strain to focus causes eye fatigue. Both can be remedied with eyeglasses generally.
