How Can You Get Better Sleep at Night?


It is recommended to get eight hours of sleep a night to keep a healthy lifestyle but most of us are getting a lot less than that. Maximizing our comfort in our bedrooms is one way to help us get more sleep! 

Choose the colors that soothe- Tones of gray create a calming design that is also rich in detail and can be cool too so try to incorporate a yellow or pink base to add some comfort.  Try to avoid blue based versions.

Upgrade your bed- The bigger the bed the better sleep you and your partner will get. You will avoid disturbing each other while you sleep.

Ditch the TV- The TV in the bedroom will delay the release of sleep-inducing melatonin. If you must have a TV in the bedroom allow half an hour between viewing and sleep time to start the countdown to better sleep.

Ditch the cellphones too- It’s easier said than done but remove all phones from the bedroom.  Charge your phone well away from the bedroom.

Reduce the light- Street lights shining in your room can hinder your rest so bring on the darkness! Install window treatments that block light out completely.

Get a new mattress- If the mattress is causing you aches and pains, it might be time to get a new one. Find a new one that is compatible to both you and your partner.

Take a warm bath- Taking a warm bath before heading into a cooler bedroom can get you to sleep quicker and let you rest better.

Turn down the heat- If your body is too warm it can cause restless sleep. Try turning it down a few degrees to help you sleep better.

Don’t turn your bedroom into an office- Keep your office outside of your bedroom. If it helps, get a desktop instead of a laptop to completely avoid it.

Stick to a schedule- Even on the weekends, wake up and go to sleep at the same time.
