Reading in bed

Reading a book in bed is the ultimate bliss – for those who care for books. As you nestle under the cool sheets, the world outside fades away, leaving only you, pillows, and the story. This is sanctuary like no other. Distractions are destroyed, and the only noise is   the turn of pages – and the ‘sound’ of the light from the bedside lamp.

Reading in bed creates a quiet bridge between the daze and confusion of day, and the calm of night. It’s a moment to unwind, allowing your mind to slip from the buffer of reality into the soothing scape of fiction or stimulation of new ideas. The bed, place of rest and safety (and escape), enhances relaxation, making the experience indulgent and restorative.

With no rush (keep your phone on silent), you turn the pages, substituting treadmill for book. You word-jog happily in bed without the constraints of time. Whether you’re drawn into a thrilling plot, profound reflections or witty dialogues, you’re in a protected, untouchable zone.

Reading in bed is more than just an activity. It’s a ducal retreat. For those who don’t care for books, there’s always the mornings.
