Word for today ~ librocubicularist

Ha!  I don't have insomnia?  No, never had that problem.  But I am definitely a librocubicularist.  What a great word.
A librocubicularist is person who reads in bed.
This succinct definition comes from an apparently extinct blog called Obsolete Word of the Day.  And I cross-posted this on my word blog.

    Good news, Amy. I found it online, though it doesn't tell us which syllable to accent. The link is below the pronunciation.

    A person who reads in bed.
    pronounced - lib-ro-kyoo-bi-kyoo-lar-ist.
