Read more. Sleep better.
What if making your life calmer and happier was easy, gentle, and fun? Studies show that settling in with a book before bed helps you get a better night’s sleep, boosts your mood, and reduces stress. Maybe your phone doesn’t need to be the star of the show at bedtime… we could all do with a little less screen time in general (and late-night doom-scrolling in particular). So, give yourself the gift of reading, be gentle with yourself, and get better sleep.
