August 26, 2021 Jessica Lauren

Sadly, reading has been on the decline with the average adult aged 20-34 spending only 0.11 hours reading daily. This amounts to less than seven minutes per day! Still, most adults have stated that they have read at least one book per year.

July 15, 2021 Lisa Czachowski

If you find that the coronavirus is ruining your sleep, you may want to pursue some other outlets for your anxiety and stress. Rather than ignoring the fact that you are anxious and stressed, consider what the specific causes of those feelings might be. Don’t push the feelings away but instead acknowledge them. Are you worried about work? Your health? Your family?

Flesh out those worries and if you can, come up with some potential solutions and an action plan to help you process and address those fears. If you can, call up a friend and talk or do some meditation to bring your thoughts into the present rather than worrying about uncertainty in the future.

It’s easy to lie awake at night and worry about all the things you should be or could be doing right now. However, it’s important to recognize that these are unprecedented times and that all you can do is your best when it comes to getting enough sleep. Rather than panic because you aren’t able to fall asleep at night, accept the fact that it’s not going to happen at the moment and be as kind to yourself as possible.

There’s no “wrong” way to sleep, so do what you can to get some restful hours. Every night is a new night - so try your best to do what’s right for you. With any luck, the pandemic will end and you’ll be back to your regular nightly snore fest!
