@nyusteph@amy_mccamley I read that the behaviour doesn’t work for those who are fond of reading for pleasure but for those who read to learn new information.
I’ve found I have to read non-fiction books on topics that interest me. Fiction draws me into the world within & I end up reading till all hours
@BrittneyAngus1@amy_mccamley Yes! This happens to me too, I can’t let myself read before bed because I hyper fixate and next minute it’s the middle of the night!!
After a full day of uni, I actually look forward to reading a book before bed 📚
Anybody else get excited about winding down in the evening to have some quiet time? Have you tried swapping blue light for a book before bed?

Thought I’d change it up…Instead of posting a photo of my book to hold myself accountable tonight…because you’ve all seen the cover of my book multiple times… here’s a GIF instead

@BrittA2211 Highly recommend 🙌🏽
For myself, I struggle to quiet my mind before bed so I often distract my thoughts by going on my phone till all hours.
I find reading puts my mind in a relaxed state. A few pages in and I’m practically falling asleep with the book in my hands. 😴
~ Accountability ~
My partner holds me accountable most nights! But sharing my photo each night helps keep me accountable too!

@amy_mccamley Interesting that you mention not being able to put it down!
I tweeted the other day about how if your book is too addictive, you’ll just want to keep reading!
I experienced this, and it turned my behaviour negative because it was 2am before I went to sleep 😅
@BrittneyAngus1 Yes!! I swear it is the highlight of my day at the moment in lockdown hahaha. I'm reading Where the Crawdads Sing at the moment... it's hard to put it down!
Holding myself accountable!!
Tonight I’m going back to the book I started at the beginning of this behaviour change but am yet to finish 📚
Putting my phone down and picking up my book 🤓
Signing off…

Over the weekend (Sunday), I took time out for myself, staying off my laptop. Instead, enjoying some time in the sun. In the night, I treated myself to a current series I’ve been enjoying on Netflix 🍿 instead of picking up my book 🤷🏼♀️ whoops…
