📖Regular reading can enhance longevity. A study involving 5,635 participants aged 50 and older found that those who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared to non-readers or those who read periodicals. This association remained significant regardless of factors like race, education, health status, wealth, marital status, and depression.

Additionally, reading has been linked to improved sleep quality. Engaging in reading before bedtime can promote better sleep by reducing stress and signaling to the body that it's time to rest.
