Since the majority of the text I produce these days is rendered as markdown before being shown to a reader, I've taken to putting newlines after periods. It makes prose much easier to edit with a linewise-thinking code editor, and the reader doesn't notice.
After developing this habit, I now personally find it also easier to skim text with the newlines shown because I know that the beginning of the line is also the beginning of the sentence.
