Reading before bed
In pre-21st century movies and media, we always see couples that go to bed, independently read their books, and once sleepy, clap off the lights and peacefully retire to sleep. Maybe there’s a reason this trope is so common! Maybe couples who read together, sleep together!! Reading before bed regulates my brain and body in ways I did not know were possible. Screens are bad for you, specifically and especially before bedtime… who knew! And with a good nights sleep I have so much energy to do things, including but not limited to more reading.

My parents have been married for nearly 30 years and they both read side by side in bed every single night before going to sleep. I think it's such a peaceful demonstration of love and comfort.

reading before bed is so calming but also I feel a sense of romanticism in reading at night. But I also love reading on the train, although different, feeling productive always makes me feel amazing throughout my day.

For any doom scrollers that used to love reading: Pick up a book when you have the urge to scroll, etc. Helped build the habit in me so fast

I think I haven’t read in bed since I was a teenager and would stay late absorbed in a book. Nowadays I can’t even read on the couch without getting sleepy, let alone in bed 😭 I mostly read on public transportation now

As soon as i start reading a paper book in bed, i get sleepy in 10 mins! my insomniac fiance can’t read before bed or he will just stay up reading until he finishes the whole book LOL , BUT i think there is a lot to be said for reading before bed!!!!!! It can help regulate the nervous system (esp if you clock a lot of screen time in your day) & it helps your eyes relax!

Amc a-list membership
If you like going to the movies and have a selection of AMCs near you it’s an unbelievably good deal. Even at my most destitute I have refused to cancel this membership because it’s basically a free activity anytime and a fun little date with myself. 3 movies a week for $25/month??? I will never shut up about this.

Metrograph
Film Forum is the OG but Metrograph is younger and hungrier, with a more diverse slate of films and an emphasis on rediscovered or neglected classics. Great atmosphere too, with a restaurant and bookstore. you can’t go wrong!
