Reading is one of the better natural sleep aids. Of course, it all depends on what you read and when you read it. To be a good sleep aid, reading material must be a bit dull, but not too dull or something you have absolutely no interest in. The trick is to have enough interest so you want to keep reading, but soon you find yourself reading the same sentence over and over again.

That’s the sign that your book or article is doing its job. Now what’s considered good reading for sleep is a highly individual matter. And it has nothing to do with the quality of the writing. Some of the best works in English literature can make excellent sleeping material (we’ll get to that in a moment).

Beware of page-turners
First, a word on timing. An exciting page turner, like a Stephen King or james patterson novel may be a good way to get your mind off the day, and away from the television, but I would strongly advise you to stop reading such books an hour before you go to sleep. At that point, I’d advise turning to duller reading for sleep.

(Of course not all mystery/thriller authors have that page-turning quality. If you find one you like whose books are also slow-going you might want to add that author to your “reading for sleeping” list.)

No work-related or hobby-related reading
Another no-no is reading about a skill you are learning, or a work-related subject. For instance, let’s say you’re trying to fix your golf slice, and you’re reading the latest tips. Stop at least an hour before bedtime. Even if you’re not consciously thinking about your golf swing as you go to sleep, your subconscious may be mulling over the different techniques you’ve just read about. (more…)
