The benefits of reading are:-

Reduces Stress :- Reading can lower blood pressure and heart rate

Aids with Sleeping:- Reading a book (not e-book) as part of your night time routine is a signal to your body to wind down.

Reading helps to slow down the decline in memory and brain function as it keeps our brain sharper for longer.
