Do you suffer from poor sleep? If you do, you're not alone. The CDC reports 50-70 million Americans have chronic sleep disorders. Furthermore, approximately 40% of adults report falling asleep during the day at least once a month.

The National Library Medicine published an article on a study called "The Reading Trial" with the results as follows,

"During December 2019, a total of 991 people took part in The Reading Trial, half (496 (50%)) in the intervention group and half (495 (50%)) in the control group. Not everyone finished the trial: 127 (25.6%) people in the intervention group and 90 (18.18%) people in the control group.

Of those providing data, 156/369 (42%) people in the intervention group felt their sleep improved, compared to 112/405 (28%) of those in the control group, a difference of 14%. When we consider how certain we are of this finding, we estimate that, in The Reading Trial, sleep improved for between 8 and 22% more people in the intervention group compared to the control group."

While I wouldn't suggest treating all sleep disorders with a Novel a Night, reading a book before going to bed is a good way to help catch those quality Zz's.

Do you deal with copious amounts of stress? Is your stress named 'spouse & kids?' 🤭😆 Well, I can't help with them, but according to NAMI California, reading can reduce stress by up to 68%! While you may still have to deal with your family if you're reading regularly, they will be 68% less stressful...that's how it works, right?

Happy Back to School Season! Remember, children who read regularly score higher tests, have better comprehension, verbal fluency, and general knowledge. Visit your local little free library and get a headstart on that schoolwork today.
