During childhood, most of us have the habit if listening to bedtime stories and some people like reading stories before sleeping.
I somehow can't enjoy a story if I am sleepy. My best friend always reads stories before sleeping. She gets transported to a different world, brfore entering her dream world,

I like reading before going to sleep. It helps me to unwind and relax.

@Sheali writing and reading do seem to go hand in hand.

I remember myself reading some bedtime stories for my daughter then. She loves it when I am doing it.

I don’t. Usually I work before I go to sleep. I don’t have time to read stories anymore

I used to read before bed all the time when I was a child. I have not done it in a while. Sometimes, it helps me relax and wind down, but if I am reading something that really speaks to me or is especially engaging, then it just revs up my body & mind and makes it impossible to go to sleep. So it all depends.
I did compile a list I found online of 100 or so classics everyone should read - it has everything on it from the Bible to Harry Potter. I have just started on that list with books I already own, so I'll probably be reading before sleeping a lot more soon.

@Sheali I used to but not so much now. I actually adore reading but I haven't been in the mood to read for a very long time. Hoping that will change soon.

My husband and I used to every day and every night up until our children were in high school. Now, we read to ourselves.

@Sheali It has been my habit to read something that interests me before going to sleep.This "something" may be anything from newspapers to wildlife adventures,stories and travels.

Not any more 
But while I was young, I loved listening to the stories from the army or from life in general, when my dad was little troublous boy, my father was talking about, that was very funny stories, my father was so good in talking
