The drifting off to sleep while reading a book or other reading material. Could also work while watching TV.
A man goes to the doctor's office and says, "I'm worried about my father, we keep finding him fast asleep with a book in his lap, or a magazine sliding down his chest. What's happening to him?"
The doctor nods, consults her notes, and says, "A classic case of bibliosomnia, plan and simple. Has he considered listening to podcasts instead?"

grebo
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
