Catch me today over at the SFR Brigade talking about what time of day is ideal for you to read or write: late at night or early morning.

However, as a reader, I definitely enjoy reading more at night. Sometimes this does cause me to stay up late with a particularly good story, but overall I find reading relaxing and a beneficial transition to sleep. Maybe that’s why some studies have shown that extended periods of reading have a similar effect on the brain as meditation does.
