I prefer moving as little as possible, and can lie on my back
reading for an hour or so easily.
Me too. But one hour is about my limit for any one posture. After
that, I need to sit if I was standing, stand if I was sitting, lie
prone if I was supine, etc.
Went to a concert last month, the UK premiere of Prometeo by Luigi Nono,
and that was well over two hours without a gap. Had no trouble sitting
still for that.
But the real problem came at the end. I'd been for a ten mile walk a
couple of days earlier, and my legs were still a bit stiff. When I
tried to stand afterwards, my legs were in agony.
Did an experiment last night. I find lying face down actually
uncomfortable. Furthermore, my back doesn't curve backwards, so I had
a choice of my nose resting on the book, or lifting my whole body with
my arms until I found myself on all fours. Neither are postures I
could use for reading.
