Anyone else fall asleep when reading? How do I stop this?

I enjoy reading but I have a problem where I fall asleep if I read for more than 30 mins. I can feel my eyelids close and I then need to nap. This happens during the day so it’s not a night time thing. I’ve been consistently getting 8 hours sleep so I don’t think it’s because of that. I am really into the books I’m reading so it’s not from boredom. It’s annoying because I would love to spend a Saturday reading, but if I try and do that I feel like I’m wasting the day napping. I can watch TV or scroll on my phone without any sleepiness. It’s not narcolepsy. It only happens when I read. I have ADHD which may be part of it, but I’m medicated. I usually read on my kobo. Any advice appreciated!
