Day Thirteen

When it's hard to sleep at night, I get out of my bed and read a book using a desk light. While I'm reading a book, I'm getting sleepy then go to bed again. Difficult or boring books are better, because I'll be into reading a book and forget to sleep if the book is interesting. However, I fall asleep easily so I hardly use this strategy.

When it's hard to sleep at night, I get out of my bed and read a book using a desk light.

While I'm reading a book, I'm gettingI read the book until I get sleepy and then go to bed again.

Your sentence is almost correct, but "while I'm reading, I'm getting sleepy then..." has some grammatical issues.

Note: It's very minor, but since you already mentioned "a book" in the first sentence, you can now write "the book." To me, it's more natural.

Difficult or boring books are better, because if the book is too interesting, I'll be into reading athat book and forget to sleep if the book is interesting.

It's grammatically correct, but I made it flow a little more naturally.

Again, here it seems a bit better to refer to the book as "the book" or "that book" instead of "a book".

However, I fall asleep easily so I hardly ever have to use this strategy.

Just a suggestion! Your sentence is fine as it is.

Your writing sounds pretty natural here already! I just made some suggestions to help it flow even better. Reading boring books is a good strategy for sleep, haha!
