Reading Instead of Scrolling

Leo

I used to check my messages until midnight, but now I read a book. I usually choose texts about history or famous people because I don’t really enjoy made-up stories. New books can be quite expensive to buy, so I visit the library in my town every week to take a few home with me. I keep my mobile on the desk inside my bedroom, but I never turn it on after nine o’clock. My sister told me I should buy a special reading lamp, but the light in my room is bright enough.

Maya

A few months ago, I couldn’t rest well. My grandfather suggested looking at a paper book instead of a screen, so I decided to try it. It was a wonderful choice! To make sure I don’t look at social media, I always leave my mobile in the kitchen downstairs. I love reading adventures about space. Because I don’t want to wake up my younger brother, I spent some of my pocket money on a small light. Now I can see the pages quietly without bothering him.

Sam

In the past, I spent hours enjoying racing apps on my smartphone when I was in bed. Because of this, I often felt very tired the next morning at school. Last month, I decided to change my routine and pick up a novel instead. I thought it would be boring, but it really isn’t. The best thing is that my eyes close much quicker now, and I don’t stay awake for long. I buy all my reading material from an online shop, using cash my aunt gives me.
