A bedroom built for sleep
Cool, dark, quiet and a little boring is exactly what you want.
Your body temperature drops as you fall asleep, and a cool room helps it along. Many sleep specialists suggest around 17 to 19 degrees Celsius.
Darkness matters too. Blackout curtains or a soft eye mask help, especially in summer when the sun rises early.
Try to keep the bed for sleep and intimacy. If you've been lying awake for what feels like twenty minutes, get up, sit somewhere dim and do something calm until you feel sleepy. It teaches your brain that bed is for sleeping, not worrying.
Try this
- Set the bedroom a little cooler than the rest of your home.
- Charge your phone outside the bedroom.
- Get up and reset if sleep doesn't come.
