Steve Pavlina manages to do this through using reading as one source for ideas and information and that is why his articles are vastly rewarding and original.

I keep about 3-4 books next to my bed, usually the Deep & Meaningful (philosophy, the Classics, history) and one good old fashioned detective story for the nights when my brain is just not fit for anything else! I also wonder whether watching television late at night makes for a disturbed night's sleep? Reading a book seems to make my mind more relaxed, ready to sleep. That alone would certainly improve mental abilities. Steve Pavlina’s comments are so true.
