Having to re-read the same sentence multiple times until you actually start paying attention to what it says is pain

For me it's never the sentence, it's always after a whole page that i realised that i just looked at words.
And then at the end, you think to yourself, "Ok, no, for real. I'm going pay attention," and repeat the cycle 👌
A few nights ago I was trying to read a book, and there was a dog across the road who wouldn't stop barking. I was reading a single page for 15 minutes until I was finally able to tune him out.
Samw with videos. Skip back, ok here's the part where my mind drifted away last time, let's focus... why did it happen again?!
I find audiobooks are better for me for this. It still happens, but it bothers me less unless I know something big was happening
