Ah, to get into bed after a long, hard day at work! The bedroom is where we relax and recharge our batteries, where we grab those few moments of peace and quiet. It is the place we’re supposed to rest our heads to get a good night’s sleep … in theory. Adequate sleep is vital to our health and happiness, yet we accept the lack of it as an inevitable consequence of having demanding jobs and personal stress. But improving the quality and length of our sleep doesn’t have to be a herculean task. All it takes is making a few simple changes to our nightly bedtime rituals.
1.Pay close attention to the light
Light is one of the most significant external factors to influence sleep. And if you’re not the type to wake up at the crack of dawn, ensure that your window coverings are adequate to block out the sunlight until you’re ready for the day. We’re thinking black-out blinds and thicker curtains.This is a matter of choice. Some need the room to be pitch-black, while others prefer a nigh-light for trips to the bathroom. Whatever you choose, it is important to remember that bright light can affect your wakefulness. Therefore, go for softer or yellow light to create a more relaxed, sleep inducing mood.
2.Opt for a calming palette
The bedroom is the place where you power down for the day. Now there aren’t any strict rules about bedroom colours schemes, but people tend to lean towards softer colours.
It depends on a lot of factors like shape, size and lighting, but the general rule here is to choose what makes you happy and doesn’t keep you awake at night. It’s also a good idea to check how you feel about the look of your bedroom in the day as well as the night.
3.Create a soundproof cocoon
Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it can’t get in the way of your sleep. Unwelcome sounds coming from outside are ultimate sleep destroyers. Anyone who lives in a city knows this all too well. Another solution, in addition to thicker curtains and airtight windows, is getting a good pair of earplugs or a white noise machine to drown out the sound.
4. Keep it cool
Another element that could be keeping you awake is the temperature of your room – either it’s too hot or too cold. Although there isn’t a definite temperature to ensure a good night’s sleep, as each of us are built differently, research says cooler is better. Play around with temperatures anywhere between 18 to 21 degrees Celsius. Fans, bedding and open windows are also your best friends when it comes to regulating the heat.
5. Don’t bring your work into the bedroom
It’s tough to punch out at the end of the day, especially now when you can do almost everything on your phone and laptop. In a perfect world, you should be able to leave all your electronics and worries at the bedroom door. But let’s face it, that is never going to happen. As a compromise, get into the habit of a wind-down routine before bed – dim the lights, read a book or play some soothing music. Anything that relaxes and makes you feel calm. If you have a study in your bedroom, a curtain hiding away your workstation is a good way of clearly demarcating bedtime from work time.
