After seeing some of the benefits offered by this activity, it's time to know how to choose the right book. Reading the wrong book will actually disturb your sleep, even make you more awake. Follow these tips to be able to choose the right reading book to apply in your daily routine.
Choose a relaxing genre
We believe that quality sleep is also determined by the type of book you read before bed. Therefore, choose light genres such as romance novels, light mysteries, or adventure stories.
Alternatively, you can also read self-improvement books or collections of poems and essays. Also, avoid reading books that are too suspenseful, action-packed, and controversial as they make it difficult to fall asleep.
Organize your reading time
Limit your reading time to 20-30 minutes before bedtime. Avoid pushing yourself to finish the book when you feel sleepy as it will make you more awake. Resume this activity at a later time, perhaps the next night.
Don't forget to put the book away neatly
The most important point, make it a habit to always put the books in order. Try to provide an easy-to-reach book storage area for easy access.

Without even realizing it, a comfortable reading atmosphere is also determined by the way we organize books. Utilize
bookshelves as a place to store books and decorative elements in the room.
Benefits of using bookshelves
Here are some of the significant benefits of utilizing bookshelves to manage your book collection:
- Keeping books organized and easily accessible: The organization of books in the shelves can be implemented by several categories, ranging from genre, and author name, to size. This will help you to find books without having to take them out one by one.
- Creating the need for book storage: A growing collection of books will require a more effective storage solution. Therefore, make sure that the shelf you choose provides enough capacity to accommodate your growing book collection.
- Encourages the habit of tidying up: Always storing books neatly will encourage a routine to create a more organized and comfortable bedroom environment.
- Books as decorative elements: Some books have interesting cover designs to showcase. Provide a bookshelf that can serve as a book display to enhance the look of the room.
Tips for choosing the right bookshelf
There are so many bookshelves available to meet everyone's storage needs. Therefore, you need to consider a few things so that the product you choose is in line with your preferences and housing needs.
First of all, consider the size and capacity. Avoid choosing a shelf that is disproportionately large as it can make the room more cramped or even unable to accommodate all the books.
Also, adjust the design to your home's decorating style. For a minimalist room, choose a shelf with a pattern in the form of stripes combined with a neutral color palette. On the other hand, choose a bookshelf with decorative details if the space in the house tends to be more classic in style.
Also, consider the additional functions and quality. Make sure it has additional storage compartments to store items other than books and that it lasts for a long time.
As a Swedish furniture manufacturer, IKEA offers a wide selection of bookshelves that can be the ultimate solution in organizing your book collection in style.
The designs also vary according to preference, ranging from bookshelves with a minimalist design or bookshelves with an elegant classic touch for traditional-style rooms.
Some of these bookshelves even come with special features such as height-adjustable shelves or glass doors to protect all book collections from dust.
