When you commit to a daily reading habit, you’re not only reducing that stack of books collecting dust on your nightstand: You’re supporting memory and brain function, improving your mood, and increasing your empathy, among many other benefits — particularly when reading fiction. Reading at night can even aid your sleep. Audiobooks offer similar health benefits.
All reading is good for you, but reading from an actual book or a magazine (compared with reading on a screen) can help your brain comprehend content. Set a daily goal — whether it’s a page or a chapter a day — and carve out the time that works for you.
