Improve Your Bedroom For An Improved Nights Sleep

Difficulty In Sleeping #1 Check Your Bedroom.

If you’re having difficulty sleeping one of the first things to look at is your bedroom. You need the right environment to get a good night’s sleep and that means a bedroom that’s pleasant, inviting and welcoming.

The following 9 tips might be worth considering.

1. Keep your room completely dark, if necessary use blackout curtains or an eye mask.
2. Make sure your room isn’t too hot or too cold, keep it slightly cool around 16-18°C (60-65°F).
3. Keep clutter out of your room – put the laundry basket in the spare room, bathroom or the landing
4. Avoid having a television, radio or computer in the bedroom
5. Turn off your mobile phone and anything with an LED display (including clocks).
6. Don’t treat your bedroom as an extension of your living room or a study.
7. Fill your bedroom with beautiful things such as photographs of loved ones, artwork that you like, plants and flowers. It will help you feel more connected to the room and look forward to going to bed
8. Try to avoid bright colours such as reds which are less restful and quite stimulating, and less conducive to a good nights’ sleep. Use muted and pastel colours, which are a lot more calming.
9. Some smells can affect your mood, making you more relaxed and calm. Sprinkle a pot pourri with essential oils of lavender or geranium, though never use during pregnancy or in children’s rooms.
