Reading is a great way to unwind, we’re probably almost all guilty of climbing into bed only to pick up our phones (for the millionth time that day, ahem) and having a last minute scroll through Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, oh and while you’re at it you might as well log onto Pinterest. A few inspirational quotes and deserted beaches before bedtime never did anyone any harm right?
Actually, browsing your phone right before bed can actually be quite harmful for your sleep, especially if you don’t regularly eat these foods that help you sleep! So instead of hitting refresh on Instagram, check out one of these top book recommendations to get stuck into before bedtime.
