bedtime reading
Bedtime reading is the act of escaping into the world of books under the calm of night. In reality, it is a self-indulgent ritual of battling drowsiness by the dim light, with every turned page aiding tomorrow’s oversleeping. More often than not, the moment the bedside lamp goes out, the contents vanish, leaving knowledge as naked excuses. What should grant comfort ends up piling sleep debt, becoming perhaps the greatest self-deception of one’s life.
