I recommend getting a night book if you ever struggle with waking up too early. Reading at night is what has helped the most with my sleep problems. But it can’t be just any book.

The properties a night book must have:

• Long, >500 pages.

• Good. If it isn’t good, you’ll get irritated, which is not sleep-inducing.

• A long get-to-know-the-story phase. This is often interesting but can also get a little boring. 😴

• Long descriptions are more sleep-inducing than short, high-intensity sentences. 

• Some long-winded parts are perfect.

• Fantasy and Science Fiction books are best suited.

Examples of appropriate books:

Science Fiction:

• Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

• Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir 

• Scythe by Neal Shusterman

Fantasy:

• Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

• Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo (Don’t pick Six of Crows as it’s too captivating.) 

• The Wrath and the Dawn by Renée Ahdieh

All are tested and approved as night books by me.

Good luck, and sleep well.
