How reading supports mental health
Stress
Reading reduces stress levels significantly, with just six minutes of reading capable of lowering stress by up to 68%.
Mindfulness
Reading fosters mindfulness, promoting present-moment awareness and focus. Studies suggest regular readers have a 29% lower risk of cognitive decline.
Sleep
Engaging in reading improves sleep quality significantly, with readers experiencing 30% better sleep outcomes than those engaging in other pre-sleep activities.
