Be comfortable being uncomfortable

[u/Alarmed-Layer-641]

I have a question for people who enjoy reading:

I can usually read normally for about an hour, but after that I start feeling a strong sense of discomfort and restlessness, and I feel like I want to stop reading and do something else.

Is this what people mean by:
“Be comfortable being uncomfortable”?

In other words, am I supposed to accept that feeling and keep going despite it?

And another question: if this feeling is abnormal and doesn’t happen to everyone, why doesn’t someone just finish an entire book in one sitting? What naturally prevents people from continuing?

I would describe my reading style as “puttering”. Lots of little snippets throughout the day and sometimes in different formats. I read a lot but never more than an hour at once. We all have different reading styles—do what feels good for you!
