    Is Your Bedroom Secretly Sabotaging Your Sleep

    If you’re always restless at night, maybe your bedroom has something to do with it.

    Your bedroom plays a big role when it comes to your sleep quality.

    Demo

    For instance, did you know that a brightly colored bedroom can make it harder for you to fall asleep? A bright red or butter yellow bedroom wall may be pleasing to the eye, but it can also overstimulate your brain, making it harder for you to get some shut-eye.

    On the other hand, investing in quality bedding such as the Mela weighted blanket can make it easier for you to fall asleep. A weighted blanket is heavier than your ordinary blanket, and it swaddles you and exerts pressure on your body, stimulating the release of the sleep-inducing hormone- melatonin.

    If you’re ready to make some bedroom changes to improve the quality of your sleep, we’ve got you.

    This article looks at five common bedroom mistakes that may be costing you your beauty sleep and their remedies.

    1.   Do Away with Blue Light before Bed

    By now, you must be aware that the blue light emitted by your phone or laptop makes it harder for you to sleep.

    Additionally, the blue light from your light bulb or your TV may be interfering with your sleep. Research shows that blue light prevents your body from producing enough melatonin, which delays sleep.

    Overhead lights that are too bright can also make it harder for you to wind down. We recommend using upward-facing light fixtures to ensure the overhead light isn’t too harsh on your eyes. You can also use smart bulbs that you can dim remotely when it’s time to sleep.

    2.   Change Your Bedroom Wall Color

    Yes, that bright red or dark purple wall color isn’t ideal for your bedroom.

    Colors affect your emotions and mood. So, when painting your bedroom, choose a color that will help you relax and doze off. The most recommended sleep-inducing colors include blue, green, light pink, white, and beige.

    When it comes to the least recommended bedroom colors, red, dark brown, black, orange, and dark purple rank highest. Such bright colors will only make you more energized, increasing your chances of a restless night.

    If you must add bright colors to your bedroom, use hints of them in your décor, plant holders, or rugs.

    3.   Tone It Down

    Is your bedroom next to a busy road, or is your home too noisy? Dampening the noise in your bedroom can help you sleep better.

    If your home is in a noisy neighborhood, you can use a sound machine to make your bedroom quieter.  A thick rug will also absorb outside noise, and so will heavy window drapes.

    Other soundproofing solutions you can use to tone down the noise in your bedroom include:

    • Seal the gap under your bedroom door with a rubber door sweep
    • Move your bedroom furniture against the walls
    • Use soundproof wallpaper
    • Add plants to your bedroom to block sound waves

    4.   Change Your Bedding

    A worn-out mattress or dirty bedding will negatively affect your sleep. An old mattress will harbor dust mites, molds, dust, bacteria, and allergens. An old mattress is also not good for your back.

    On the other hand, low-quality bedding may disrupt your sleep cycle due to night sweats or itchiness. When choosing your bedding, go for the ones made of natural fibers such as cotton or silk.

    Moreover, if you have trouble sleeping, a weighted blanket can improve sleep. A weighted blanket provides deep pressure stimulation during sleep, enabling you to relax and doze off.

    Weighted blankets have been shown to improve sleep in people with anxiety, stress, insomnia, and other sleep disorders.

    5.   Do Away With Clutter

    If you want to sleep better, keep your bedroom clutter-free.

    Clutter affects your mental health, leading to high levels of stress. Clutter also makes it impossible for you to relax and recharge.

    Besides, a bedroom full of stuff is a constant reminder of pending work.

    Stuff in your bedroom will often pile up due to items without a home. Don’t let your bedroom become a dumping ground for items that you don’t need. Separate the items you use and those you don’t need and donate or get rid of the latter.

    Remember to evaluate your bedroom accessories as well. If there are unnecessary wall hangings or window treatments that you no longer use, get rid of them.

    Once you’re done decluttering, aim only to only have those items that are essential in your bedroom.

    Now you know how your bedroom may be sabotaging your sleep. Hopefully, you have also learned how to create an environment that promotes restful and peaceful sleep, so you can wake rejuvenated and ready for the day.
