Eye strain, fatigue: Your symptoms are typical for eyestrain and sleep deprivation. Make sure that you have good lighting for reading, keep reading material more than 16 inches away and vary the distance, and take frequent short breaks where you close the eyes momentarily or look away in the distance. Otc artificial tears might also help with dry eye, which can also happen in this type of situation.
