Okay, first, reading does help you fall asleep, but gluing yourself to a phone or tablet helps keep you awake. Read a paper book! That’s what actually helps!
Second, holy god, fuck that website. There’s a place for sites that feed you randomness, but not when you’re looking for a classic short story to read. Give me an index so I can find a story I haven’t read before. Also, during a few minutes of clicking, the site fed me only about ten stories, most of them repeats, most of them Poe.
It’s a shit website. Buy yourself a proper book of short stories and read those instead.

The Yellow Wallpaper still haunts me from freshman year in college. Psychological horror visual bruised into my brain.

What helps me to sleep es reading in a non native language. By brain has to work too much, I think, and gets exhausted.
