i would love to say that every time i can"t sleep i just read a few chapters of my current read, but that isn't the full truth...
depending on the day, i either doomscroll or read if i can't sleep, but i'm trying to make it more reading than doomscrolling now that i'm a real adult π§

Stop doomscrolling! Also that blue light is bad for your sleep.

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 Iβd never go back β itβs 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, thatβs ok! Now Iβm 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)

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 :)

i've recently been coming out of a huuuge depressive slump, and the best thing i did for myself was to start waking up a little bit earlier for work, make myself a yummy coffee, and sit by my big window and read + think for ~20 mins. it boosts my mood soooo much throughout the day and helps me to be so much more mindful
