If you drink caffeine all day because you can’t sleep, the issue may be in your bedroom. Improving your sleep with deep fitted sheet as simple as changing the way your bedroom looks. You only need to consult Jonathan Scott, a specialist in house architecture and a marketing advocate for Stearns & Foster. Nothing in your house will have a greater effect on your quality of life than a gorgeous bedroom in which to rest and rejuvenate.
This Is Where You Should Begin:
1. First, Make Things Calmer Around Here
The better your slumber, the more pleasant your surroundings should be. If you don’t have time to colour your walls (in which case, blue is a calming option), try setting out some tranquil landscape photographs instead.
2 – Avoid Any And All Work-Related Interruptions
Scott is of the opinion that a bedroom should not be converted into a workplace. The bedroom is for resting, recharging, and unwinding, not working. And worrying about money certainly doesn’t help.
3 – Remove Any Unnecessary Items
Scott says that having a messy bedroom is a surefire way to ruin the space’s intended calming effect. He suggests getting a desk with shelves and tables that move under the bed for extra stowage.
4 – Switch Off The Lamps
Besides the light on the nightstand (duh). Turn off the radio, the TV, the internet, and the phone. Too bright lights signal your body’s internal wake-up schedule, which can disrupt your sleep pattern and reduce the quality of your rest. Light in your chamber is fine during the day and daybreak, but not at midnight when you get a text from the office.
Don’t Lose Your Calm
According to research, the best temperature for undisturbed slumber is between 60 and 67 degrees. Don’t let yourself overheat or get too cold in bed; doing either can disrupt your sleep. You can also increase the comfort level by increasing the dampness in the area. A humidifier should be used to keep the relative humidity in a space between 30 and 40 percent, particularly during the arid winter months.
6 – Get some good linens
The man who claims to never cut corners on the linens is Scott. In fact, he suggests having two complete sets of bed linens on hand at all times, including a clean set of sherpa blanket and a clean set of comforters, in case the need arises.
7 – Never Speak Up
Even when we’re fast asleep, our ears are still working. So, sure, the noise or humming from your smartphone or the TV you left on can disrupt your REM cycles. On the other hand, background noise has been shown to be beneficial. The National Sleep Foundation suggests that this level of background commotion can help you tune out more intrusive noises, like a vehicle door closing, and get a better night’s rest.
8 – Use A Soothing Aroma
Lavender has been shown to have a calming effect by reducing the body’s sympathetic nervous system activity, which includes the pulse rate, cutaneous temperature, and blood pressure. A study published in the International Journal of Neuroscience found that it also has the ability to make you feel sleepy and uplifted. If you’re having trouble falling asleep, consider using a lavender-scented lamp or soap.
9 – Make A Soft, Inviting Bed
Although it should go without saying, the quality of your slumber is significantly influenced by the bedding you use each night. You’ll need to do some experimenting to figure out what makes for the most comfortable bed for you, as not all furniture is made the same or has the same effect on different people. Find linens, comforters, and pillows that allow air to circulate and drain away wetness to avoid getting too hot while you sleep. Even your nightwear isn’t safe.
10 – Always Start The Day By Making The Bed
Yes, it has been proven that a bed that is made up at the end of each day leads to a more restful night’s slumber. According to a survey conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, people who make their bed on a frequent basis (and who keep their bedrooms tidy) report better sleep quality. There are many other benefits to doing so as well.
