Some people distract themselves by losing themselves in a TV show. Others let their imagination run wild by burying themselves in a good book. If you’re feeling like you want to get away from your current situation, just grab a book and read for a while.
Reading a book could be particularly useful if you struggle getting to sleep. Swap out scrolling through your Instagram feed in bed for reading for half an hour instead – it might help your brain switch off a bit.
