and not remembering what I read in the morning: truly the most indulgent and least self-care behavior

In pre-21st century movies and media, we always see couples that go to bed, independently read their books, and once sleepy, clap off the lights and peacefully retire to sleep. Maybe there’s a reason this trope is so common! Maybe couples who read together, sleep together!!
Reading before bed regulates my brain and body in ways I did not know were possible. Screens are bad for you, specifically and especially before bedtime… who knew! And with a good nights sleep I have so much energy to do things, including but not limited to more reading.

5 books so far this year and it knocks me right out

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)
