| | Day 6: Create a Healthier Bedroom for Sleep | | | | Making a few changes to your bedroom can make a big difference in the quality of your sleep. By choosing the right temperature, lighting, fabrics, wall colors, and more, you are more likely to get the restorative rest you need.
First, consider what you can remove from your bedroom. Ban electronics and tackle stress-inducing clutter. You may want to get rid of rugs or carpeting, which will cut down on allergens. Is your sleep disrupted by a neighbor's dog or other noise? Try using a fan or a white noise machine or app. Keep your lights dim in the evenings, and consider blackout curtains or a sleep mask to help promote the release of melatonin. Studies have shown that even a little light at night can have harmful effects on your sleep and health.
