When you read before bed, your stress levels are more likely to drop. With stress out of the way, there is a good chance you will get a good night’s rest. Reading also helps your body wind down and relax before bed. This allows you to fall asleep within a short time and stay asleep.
What Should You Read?
Go for books that;
- are light
- don’t leave you traumatized
- elevate your mood
How Should You Sit/Lay Down While Reading Your Book and Why?
Lay on your back with your head at an incline. Once you do, bend your knees to support the book or a digital device like a laptop. This takes the pressure off your neck, head, or wrists. If reading on the bed is not your thing, use a chair. Sit upright with your feet planted on the flow and your knees bent at 90 degrees. Keep your back straight and maintain a forward head posture.
Is Kindle a Good Option?
Unlike other electronic devices, the kindle produces less artificial blue light. It is a good option because it won’t disrupt your circadian system or cause hormonal imbalances.
Can Having a Strong Light Switched on Deteriorate the Effect?
A strong light is associated with migraine. This can result in poor sleep quality.
