A trick to downshift your brain to go to sleep: read formulaic novels in a genre you love.

  • A trick to downshift your brain to go to sleep: read formulaic novels in a genre you love.
    • It's enjoyable but shallow.
      • The plots are formulaic and totally predictable.
    • You don't need to use your brain, so your brain can get ready for sleep.
    • My guilty pleasure is trashy gay romance novels.
      • I especially love the sub-genre where one of the characters has their gay awakening as they find their soul mate, and that makes them a better person.
      • I have no idea why that appeals to me so much…
      • … oh wait.
