It's like a decades-long habit now (it used to be analog books now it's a digital reader). Does the trick; settles my mind (I sleep like a baby most nights but never for more than 6-7 hours), keeps me engaged in something outside of work, establishes a "here's the end of the day" routine in my brain. Your mileage may vary :)

Me too:) I like reading 2 books at the same time- some nights a bit of both some just one but I always think about them together- my own little comparative lit class. Plus the dream mash ups are cool

Before I was fully WFH, I would always read on my train commute, but when that stopped, I stopped reading. I fell into a habit of watching tv and then sitting on my phone in bed until I passed out. Then I decided to start reading before bed and I’d never go back — it’s less screen-stimulation right before I fall asleep, it calms my mind, and I get through so many more books. If you only make it one page before passing out, that’s ok! Now I’m excited to climb into bed 30-60 min before I want to be asleep so I can read my book. (The only downside I can think of is that sometimes it makes me want to stay up later to get through an exciting part in the book)

Reading a page or two before going to sleep is a great feeling, and will have you slowly make your way through your books, eventually reading more than a few pages when you find yourself compeltely engrossed.

BBB. Reading a chapter before I go to sleep has slipped its way into my routine and I love it because : 1. My dreams run rampant in the best way 2. It gives me something fun to dwell about before bed 3. Good unwind from the day

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here: https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/ The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
