My new night time routine

My New Nighttime Routine

I’ve been using this app for a few nights now, and it’s honestly become part of my bedtime routine. I usually read for about 10 minutes before going to sleep, and it helps me relax and clear my mind after a long day. It’s a nice break from scrolling on my phone, and I actually look forward to reading every night.
