6 Tips for Reading in the Mornings

This is a tip you'll hear many readers give: read first thing in the morning, when you wake up. Hopefully this post will help you make it a habit for reading in the morning, if that is when you choose to have your reading time.

Tip 1: Have a book by your bed where your head rests. Whether it's on your nightstand, on your bookshelf, or anywhere else, have it near you so that it's easy to grab and read even though you're still in bed.

Tip 2: Read a little bit each night before you go to bed. Usually, when you do something right before you go to sleep, you'll be thinking about it when you wake up again.

Tip 3: Use ebooks and audiobooks. If you don't like having your physical books near food and drink, it's useful to have access to ebooks and audiobooks.

Tip 4: Read while you do your morning routine and eat breakfast. (This is where audiobooks and ebooks come in a lot of help.)

Tip 5: Don't force yourself to read large chunks of your book(s) in the mornings. If you can only a single page in the mornings (or only a couple of minutes of your audiobook), then that is okay.

Tip 6: Don't rush to get out of bed. Tale your time, and let yourself read as much or little as you want.
