I would worry about operant conditioning myself to associate reading with sleep.
One friend put on movies to help them go to sleep. Later she struggled to watch movies without falling asleep.
I overthink this concept, so I'm overly cautious about what activities I mix together because I fear the risk of training strange subconscious responses in myself.
- Semaphor 2y agoI’ve been reading in bed before sleeping since I was a kid. For years, I’ve almost exclusively read in bed (+ public transport, but that’s rather rare, less than 1/month). Yet when I am tired, or just don’t have the time to read 30–60 minutes, I have as much trouble skipping reading as I have going to bed early to get an extra hour of reading in, which is to say none at all. All this to say: YMMV ;)
