Fact: Sleep studies have shown that reading each night can make it easier to fall sleep and allow you a deeper sleep. You can train yourself to associate reading with sleep and make it part of your bedtime ritual.

Activity in parts of the brain that control emotions, decision-making processes, and social interactions is drastically reduced during deep sleep. This means deep sleep may help people maintain optimal emotional and social functioning while they are awake.
