The Secret to Sleep Is in Your Bedroom

If you’re having trouble sleeping, then the secret to a good night’s sleep is actually in your bedroom. Many of us value the sleep we get because it helps us to recharge and reinvigorate ourselves to prepare for a new day. However, it’s not unusual to hear people who have trouble getting sleep for one reason or another. It could be failing to fall asleep because of noises they hear, it could be that their bed is uncomfortable or it might just be a bad sleeping pattern.

But as mentioned at the beginning, the secret to getting a good night’s sleep is all in your bedroom. Here’s how you can make small changes to your bedroom in order to sleep better, rest easy and feel great in the morning.

Remove all electronic devices You want your bedroom to be associated with sleep and nothing else. It sounds boring, but you want to ensure that there are no electronic devices for you to use when you go to bed. You want the room to be completely devoid of entertainment because you need to resist the urge to check your phone at night and you need to train yourself to stop watching television before bed. This means you should leave your phone charging somewhere away from your bedroom, you should remove your television as soon as possible, and you should get rid of the radio.

Comfort is in the bed Next, you want to check a down bedding care and shopping guide. When you wrap yourself up at night, you want to be comfortable and warm. Your mattress also plays a big part in your comfort. If you don’t feel comfortable when you close your eyes, then you’ll toss and turn at night trying to find a comfortable position. You’ll know if your bedding isn’t comfortable if you wake up with aches and pains all over your body. Mattresses may seem expensive, but they’re worth the investment because you spend roughly a third of your life sleeping.

Keep it dark and cool When you throw over the bedding and rest your head on your pillow, your body naturally warms up over time. If your room is already stuffy and hot, then your body temperature is going to continue rising and you’ll eventually start to sweat and be uncomfortable when you sleep. Avoid this by making sure your room is nice and cool. This is helped by removing any kind of electronic device or leaving them off because they build up heat. Get some thick curtains and close them to prevent heat getting in during the afternoon or evening. It also helps to keep your room dark so that your sleep isn’t interrupted. Even the faintest glow from the moon or an alarm clock can disrupt your sleep.

Summary Hopefully, these three ideas have given you some inspiration for your next bedroom renovation project. Follow these tips and you’ll easily get some quality sleep next time you shut your eyes. You’ll feel comfortable, refreshed and ready to take on the challenges of a new day.

I am happy to share my adventures as I walk through motherhood and have to do most things on my own while my husband works miles away from us. Turning my passion into a profitable venture is another thing.

Authoring and managing this personal blog developed my social media awareness over the years.

From being an ex-OFW to doing what I am good at in the comfort of my own home – while taking good care of my 3 wonderful kids, I hope that people see me as a great inspiration when it comes to pursuing my passion and turning it into a profitable venture.

A giant leap like this is such a challenging journey but indeed is rewarding. A few bumps along this whole journey did not stop me from being the best version of myself.
