Three Books You Must Read
Reading is my favorite way to transition from a busy day to sleep. Every night before I turn out the lights, I try to get a good 10-20 minutes of reading time in since it helps me unwind. Unfortunately, I have no self-control when it comes to reading fiction so I save those books for vacation. I’ve found reading non-fiction at night helps me keep up to date with my health and wellness education and it’s pretty heady stuff so it makes me sleepy… These are the three most fascinating, valuable books I’ve read in the last year. You should check them out!
