With reading being an excellent way to improve your imagination, it is no wonder that books have been a favourite for so many years. Did you know that reading can also help with your sleep? Reading, since it enables you to relax and de-stress, can help pull you into a deep and peaceful sleep. That sounds like it might be too good to be true, but reading can, in fact, help you sleep.
Books are great company at night before you go to bed. Choosing a good book and settling down after dark is incredibly relaxing. If your day is busy, take a breath.
By setting apart specific times for reading just before falling asleep at night, you can help yourself relax and wind down before falling asleep. The type of literature you read is your preference, but merely the fact that you are reading is the important part. Reading before bed calms your body and mind, especially after a long and stressful day. Even if the reading is just a short amount—a chapter or two—the peacefulness that reading induces can help slip you into a deep and restful sleep.
The relaxation that books can bring is just one of the wonderful benefits of reading every night before bed. Perhaps the most well-known benefit of reading is the entertainment value of opening a book with crisp, white pages. Of course, the entertainment of reading is typically what draws avid readers to pick up the next great book. In fact, reading has been a solid form of entertainment for many years. Any reader knows that reading can be peaceful and induce a relaxing state of mind.
By immersing yourself in a good book, you can almost feel any stress or worry melt away. You are both entertained and relaxed just by reading, which is just one of the many great things about books. With the ability to entertain and induce peacefulness, reading has been a constant comfort to people of all ages and from all walks of life.
For years, this entertainment factor has been at the forefront of literature. Books and other forms of writing are still just as popular today.
The peaceful state of reading has been just an amazing as the entertainment. Many great readers and writers have mentioned the importance of reading throughout their careers, being advocates for reading.
Books can bring joy to your life on a daily basis. The act of reading is a great benefit both to mental and physical health, but it can also brighten your day. Sometimes, the days can be stressful and worrisome, but when you lay down at night and curl up with a good book, it lifts your spirits along with that stress and worry.
Just take some time out from your day, read a little bit, and feel yourself relaxing. As compelling as meditation and yoga are at brightening your day, a little time spent alone with a book is a lovely way to spend your afternoon or night.

From vacations to a quick moment while waiting in the carpool line, reading is an effective means of relaxation in an otherwise busy world. If you love to get up early, you should start your day with a little light reading.
Your day will be just a little bit brighter, and you can breathe easy. Let books take a little weight off your shoulders so you can enjoy the things around you. Take a few moments for yourself and just read. Books allow you to see things from a completely different perspective. Reading a book about a certain culture, for example, can help you to understand how that culture differs from your own.
Books give you new ideas. In the absence of other viewpoints, we tend to have a very one-dimensional type of thinking based on our upbringing. We look at things from the angle of our own experience. Using this lens, it is easy to assume that our way is the correct way. Take, for example, the image of a Muslim woman wearing a burka or hijab. A lot of people in Western society may view this as a type of oppression.
In reality, however, many Muslim women choose to dress in this manner as a part of their spiritual beliefs. If you were to read a book or article on the matter written by a Muslim woman, you could learn to start seeing things from her perspective.
Books are amazing things that can be both entertaining and beneficial to your health. They are almost like tools to a healthy lifestyle. The books that you choose to read is your preference, which can range from romance to non-fiction. Often, people will read magazine articles or even textbooks if that is what they enjoy reading. Whatever you choose to read, you can count on the multiple benefits of reading to help both your mind and body. It is easy to enjoy books when you are merely reading for pleasure.
Heavy readers will always have a book in their hands as well. From stress relief to improved memory, reading is hugely beneficial in all aspects of our lives. Reading is a great way to improve yourself all around. You can find books anywhere, from the library to bookstores to thrift shops.
In fact, you can find books everywhere. The options of books or magazines to read are limitless. The kind of books you enjoy reading is as simple as trying out a few genres. If you prefer true stories, go with non-fiction. And if mystical stories of fantasy, romance, and tall tales are your cup of tea, then give fiction a chance.
Reading might seem boring to some who have never truly read a great piece, but with a little time, you can love reading as well. With all of the amazing benefits of reading, it is definitely worth the time.
Take a chance to help your mental and physical well-being. You might be surprised at the great fun that reading can be to you, and you might even become a heavy reader with time. One book is all it takes. So take this challenge and start reading just one book today! If this post was helpful, do share! You must be logged in to post a comment. Skip to content.

Well, she saves him from getting run over by a car. What does it all mean? I consider Significance a YA paranormal book and I love it. It reads super sweet and super innocent. The story is about two people learning about each other and forming an intense relationship.
Caleb is different. His family eventually gets paired up with their significant. Once two people are paired, eventually they will obtain powers. Maggie becomes thrown in the middle and Caleb is so sexy because he goes all protective-cave-man on her.
I loved going through what she went through. I loved the rival clans and all the drama. The one thing that I enjoyed most about this read is the love Caleb and Maggie have for each other. I like that they are only meant for each other.
I also like that they were almost strangers and within a few minutes they become paired. It was just like I said crazy intense. Audio Questions: If you could sum up Significance in three words, what would they be? The Heroine and Hero made the story. I love that this is a true romance love story. There was so much that went on and I gobbled it up. How does this one compare? This is my first Cris narration. I loved her voice. I found it very sweet, young and it matched the Heroine perfectly.
I loved listening to her inner struggles. I felt her confusion, pain and love for the Hero. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? View all 12 comments. My rating obviously shows that I didn't like this book. Instead of using Goodreads as a site to vent my literary frustrations which I know I've done before , I'm going to go over what I think could make this book better.
I can't promise though that I won't get off track; books are always pretty personal to me. As many, MANY people have already said, the editing is in need of some serious work. Incorrect verb tenses, subject changes when the subject hasn't changed, and sentences that simply don't My rating obviously shows that I didn't like this book.
Incorrect verb tenses, subject changes when the subject hasn't changed, and sentences that simply don't make sense littered the book. For example, "He can name any capitol of any city in the world. Yes, that sentence is implying that cities have capitols. Also, by saying "any" it's implying that there are several capitols each city could have.
Crane, while I respect that you've managed to capture thousands of love-crazed hearts, these mistakes take away the credibility and integrity of your work! Enough said. My other major complaint was the unnatural perfection of the characters.
Caleb: math genius, sports star, sexy beast, protective good guy with a motorcycle. Maggie: smart student, sweet and innocent girl with a sad past that she suffered through and came out strong.
Oh yeah, and she's drop dead gorgeous. And she's got three extremely hot guys in love with her. There were a few instances where I personally thought that Maggie was dumb or insecure, but I stood alone in my opinions.
Besides the creepily perfect protagonists, the villains were just as purely evil. There was a weak explanation given to the rivalry of good and evil, but it was shallow and unfulfilling. I can understand where some people women would enjoy reading about a stereotypically perfect, and all encompassing love, but this book fell flat and left me frustrated.
It had potential, but I'm 99 percent positive that I won't be reading the sequel. Aug 17, Darcey rated it really liked it Shelves: 4-stars , romance , fantasy-or-paranormal , hot-book-boyfriends. The romance was a bit OTT in my opinion and the 'soul connection' thing was slightly dodgy, but Significance was still a likeable book that was simple and entertaining most of the time.

And man, did they have chemistry! This pair only had to look at each other and the windows started getting steamed up! The storyline in this was really good. I did feel like the im Downloaded for free from Amazon.
I did feel like the imprinting and soul-mates thing has been done before, it was all a bit twilight really, but the romance made up for that.
I really loved the romance in this book, the way it was written was just really nice, and even though this pair did nothing more than kiss, there was so much emotion, and love, and yeah, a bit of lust, that this just felt so much sexier than it should have! The ending to this was pretty good, and even though this was pretty slow, I really want to read the sequel and find out what happens next! Love this pair! I read this back in Well, love it. Present tense. Because i just reread it and somehow liked it even better the second time around.
This book gave me so many unrealistic expectations when I was younger. Yet I did. Because the main character, Caleb, is so perfect it hurts. Sometimes I want to punch I read this back in Sometimes I want to punch him for it. Other times I wanna marry him. You get what I mean? Maggie, on the other hand, is not perfect, which is a good thing. The plot in general is interesting to me, at least.
And it gets better with every book. View 1 comment. This was a fun and interesting read. Maggie and Caleb are soul mates struggling with, but enamored by their newfound connection. At first, I was worried that their intensity would get suffocating. The fact that they were so in tune with each other was sweet, but their desperate need to be together or face agonizing circumstances was initially overwhelming.
However, as the book progressed, I really became caught up in their sweet story and found myself rooting for them to overcome the 3. However, as the book progressed, I really became caught up in their sweet story and found myself rooting for them to overcome their hardships. Caleb is perfection. He's kind, patient, and thoughtful. He doesn't truly possess any 'alpha' qualities but he's adorably sexy and intensely protective over Maggie. I enjoyed the connection between the secondary characters, as well as the addition of the 'evil', opposing ones.
Maggie has been hurt by the thoughtless abandonment of her mother, but remains a strong, level-headed character whom I admired. Her connection with her father kicks off with a shaky start and I enjoyed seeing their relationship blossom. Overall, an enjoyable start to a unique series. The ending leaves the story open, but doesn't leave you hanging I look forward to the next installments of this journey!

There was such a beautiful connection between them, I didn't want their story to end. I actually tried to savor the last pages and not devour them. This book is easily one that you can read really fast because it's that good. Maggie Masters spent the the last year raising herself. Her mom took off and left Maggie and her father alone. Her father became catatonic. He was there, but w Significance blew me away! He was there, but wasn't there. I immediately could picture and feel her sadness and her feelings of loneliness.
My heart sank deep just imagining what she went through. Maggie just wanted to get through her senior year. After her graduation her friend Kyle Jacobson asked her to go for something to do. See, Kyle has had a crush on Maggie for like, forever. Little does he know, Maggie doesn't feel the same way. She needed to get out and get fresh air so she goes for a walk and this is when her life changes forever.
Do you believe in fate? Perhaps that's exactly what it was when Maggie saved Caleb's life after pulling him back off the road and nearly missed being hit by a truck, turns out, he's Kyles cousin. I don't mind instant chemistry as long as it isn't over the top. This one, was well played out and had me curling my toes up with giddiness. Caleb instantly won me over. The moment Maggie and Caleb shook hands, their fate was sealed. Flashes of happy times with him came rushing into her mind, she could feel his heart beating, his happiness.
And it hasn't been happening at all with the families. They call themselves Aces. They have abilities once they reach a certain age after they imprint. Talk about a character that just makes you melt! Maggie and Caleb form an instant connection once they imprint on one another. It was fascinating to see their new relationship develop so quickly. It was written so it didn't feel rushed really though.
It was perfect. There was a sense of protection and a need to make her happy that made Caleb's character more appealing. Imprinting hasn't been happening for a while now and the clan's have been concerned about it, so when Caleb and Maggie imprinted, not only was it exciting, but it is very rare to imprint with a human. Once other clan's found out about it, one clan specifically Maggie and Caleb became a target.
They don't want them to Ascend. Which is when they grow and gain their full ability. The events that took place once the bad clan that's just what I call them come into the picture were suspenseful and contained enough action that I really didn't want to put the book down. There were some pretty amazing things that happen throughout this story that you really should just experience this for yourself.
She was his. Sure, I wanted to smack the smirk off Marcus's face, and punch his uncle in the kahuna's for being such an evil ass, but what it boils down to is that they were all fantastic and were played so well.
I just adored little Maria, Caleb's niece. She was so cute and who couldn't relate to an open-mouth honesty a little child provides LOL. And, I cannot forget Caleb's parents.
I thought they were magnificent and so cute together. It's so easy to be swept away into this amazing story. I am gushing over this book. I would like to thank Shelly Crane for the opportunity to read this awesome story. I can't wait to read the next book, Accordance. This book was s refreshing and different from what is out there right now. Although I am a lover of all things paranormal it's nice to have someone think out of the box. The world Crane created was so unique and intriguing.
Although the one true love concept was still there, which is what we all love in the first place, it was awesome to see how intense Caleb felt for Maggie. I loved how Maggie didn't fight her destiny but was able to roll with the punches. All in all this was a great read with This book was s refreshing and different from what is out there right now.
All in all this was a great read with a very unique take on paranormal romance. Well done Ms. What you always needed walks up when you least expect it.
My first thought was OMG could this really happen to people? Could people fall in love the first minute they meet? The answer is a resounding yes! Maggie is an ordinary girl graduating from high school and wanting nothing more than to be done with school and work all summer at the diner before deciding what she is going to do.
Then something amazing happens to her and she is not so sure what she is going to do. She has a lot of thinking to do. With this new decision on her mind she finds that some choices are hard to make but she has to learn to follow her heart. Falling in love is scary but once it is done there is no looking back. I loved this book right from the start! The opening lines are: I had waited for this day.
For this one thing to complete me. To wrap up seventeen and a three quarter years of my life and set a pretty bow on it in the form of a graduation cap. I had waited for this one sheet of paper to tell me I had done something right.
I sat in my assigned seat, along with my classmates, in alphabetical order in front of the gym. The ones up front were in order by achievements, their faces lit with the relief of scholarships and graduation parties with gifts and family and friends.
And getting out of this town. I was numb. I despised school. I was in the early release program for students who work after school, so we got out at instead of like everyone else. This story has so many toss and turns and lots of adventures, you will love it!
What is one to do when you fall in love with a stranger? Should you listen to everyone else or should you just go for it. Maggie has made her decision and she is going through with her plan of loving and trusting someone when she could not do that a year ago. She has her best friend Becca and her ex-boyfriend Chad and her other best friend Kyle. They have spent all there lives together and had decided they were going to go to the same college and then things changed.
Maggie had someone close to her walk right out of her life and senior year went from being fun to being unnoticed by everyone because she just wanted to do her senior year and get out of town far away from all the things that had happened over the year.
Then Maggie meets the love of her life and she finds out that being in love is complicated band that this particular relationship is going to be a tough one. But Maggie holds true to herself and her love and she makes things doable.
What is in store for Maggie? Can she handle it? Does love survive battles? Hehehehe read on to find out! Shelly Crane is the next Rachelle Mead! She has weaved a love story with loss and challenges that will pull at your heart and having you rooting for the couple.
This is a must summer read. You will not be disappointed! I looked up into his face, at least half a foot higher than mine, probably more. Thank you. I mean an actual jolt. Like it felt as if fire was racing through my veins and I was standing in water with a blow dryer. My breaths ceased to exist and my blood felt cold in my hot skin. My eyes fluttered automatically at the pleasure pain of it.
