Do you read before you go to bed?

I have read before I go to sleep for almost as long as I can remember. I started it when I first learned to read just to get me to relax from the day. I do it now for the same reason and also because it is one of the few very peaceful times I get in the day.
This is actually also a habit that I am trying to teach my 6-year-old daughter as well. She used to fall asleep with the TV on, but now I am trying to get her to pick up a book and read when she goes to bed for the night. Being a reader, I want to instill this habit in my children as well.

I do not read before bed. I'm like you, I will want to keep reading even if I am tired. And sometimes reading makes me not tired anymore. I could start reading at 9:00 PM then before I know it, it is 3:00 AM. This is not a good way to get to bed.

I used to but i don't anymore. I need to get into the habit of doing it again. it helps me sleep better.

I personally don't read before going to bed but if that's something you enjoy and it helps you sleep, then I can't imagine a more healthy activity before bedtime. I'm personally a TV guy myself. I'll watch that until I'm out. Congrats to you for finding a pleasant and healthy activity to do before sleeping. I'd imagine that reading is also a factor in maintaing an active mind and can definitely help gain a wider range of intelligence.

I used to do that too before. Now, with my full time job taking so much time each day, I get so tired by the time I get back home. So, I prefer relaxing listening to songs and music. I like listening to classical music, very relaxing, takes away the stresses of the day. I keep a collection of CDs of classical music, Mozart, Chopin, Strauss, and more.

it's good,I always read a many kind of book before sleep, but never choose a hard book. I choose a relax book like a history book,motivation and other.

There are times, when I do read before I go to bed. However, it doesn't happen very often that I do read before going to bed, nowadays. I guess it just depends on the night and how I'm feeling on that specific night.

I often read either a regular book or, more lately, listen to my ipod where I have several audio books stored.Theres something about having someone read me a story. Just when I was a little kid if you tell me a story for long enough chances are I will go to sleep. this is great because I use to be a terrible insomniac.Now I am getting more sleep, not as much as the average person but defiantly more.

Same here. I also like reading books. I love reading books before going to bed because it makes me feel really relaxed and I could really concentrate more on what I am reading when I'm on my bed. It also makes me feel sleepy so it is very easy for me to sleep.

Hi chelseaalawan, after having great fun typing posts here at mylot, I have lesser time doing the book reading. Anyway reading is still one of my favorite hobbies. I try my best to read the favorite books before going to bed.

Okay! It doesn’t matter how much I could read daily. It’s just nice to cultivate such a good reading habit. I believe I insist to read a few pages before going to bed I still could finish a book subsequently. Yeah, I always stick to the belief of “many a little makes a mickle”. That’s right! I’m glad that I have finished reading quite a number of books in this way Moreover I could fall asleep faster for my eyes feel tired after the reading

Happy posting and have a nice day!
