I cant concentrate when i'm tired esp. at night. I found that waking up early in the morning and reading works better for me

I read when I'm travelling to school or have spare time.
If I read before sleep, I don't think I can ever sleep (unless its a really boring book or I'm extremely tired which in case I shouldn't read because I won't absorb anything).

Oh yeah I like to do that. Just for fun though like not work or anything. Sometimes I have a bit of trouble stopping my reading if I'm reading something awesome so I end up staying up for it. I try to read on a daily basis but recently I'm running out of time haha. I also like to read when I'm travelling on transport or something.

Used to do it all the time for leisure as a kid...fell out of the habit mid HS
Same here, because I was always reading stuff for school/uni. Now I've started to get back into reading for pleasure and it's good, but reading speed and level of concentration is nowhere near what it used to be.

It had been proven that you can remember better before you go to sleep, ofc saying 'before bed' may not be right before bed, maybe an hour before?

I did it once and it did work

Ive heard somewhere that the last 30 mins before you sleep are the things you'll be able to remember most.
takes me like 1.5hrs to fall asleep though... looks like I remember nothing lol

I usually end up reading blogs, articles, ranting online before going to bed. It makes me think a lot. But in the end it's not that good because I feel that I am still awake. :/

I've been reading before bed for years and it's great relaxation. I read for 30 minutes - takes my mind off things and helps me sleep better. Really encourage it for anyone who gets very stressed!
