My favorite place to read is in bed: it's cozy, comfortable, and people can't distract me when I'm getting to the good bit. I'm happy to spend the evening tucked up with a book but recently I've found that when I close the page and turn the light off, it's taking me a long time to fall asleep.
So I turned to the experts. Dr. Jessica Weatherford, psychologist, explained my pre-bed reading marathons aren't the soothing habit I thought they were. Instead, I'm breaking one of the "most important factors in consistently healthy sleep" by teaching my brain the bed isn't just for dozing off.
