Tips for Styling Your Bedroom for Better Sleep

By csheaffer@helenadamsrealty.com - September 03, 2019
There are many factors that contribute to the way you sleep at night, some of which are easier to control than others. Often times, just the way that your bedroom is styled can affect your quality of sleep. When entering your bedroom, you should be able to leave most stress and anxiety at the door. Here are a few ways to re-evaluate your sleeping space and improve that nightly rest.

 

Choose Colors Conducive to Relaxation

The psychology behind choosing the right bedroom color scheme can affect your mood and sleep schedule. Choosing specific colors for your bedroom can help the space become more sleep-friendly. Studies show that blue is one of the most calming colors, perfect for bedroom decor. Researching bedroom inspiration cohesive with better sleep quality is easy to do, whether you are looking at online resources like Sherwin-Williams or contacting local interior designers. Remember that agents at Helen Adams Realty can help you decide on a local vendor from their list of preferred contacts.

 

Hide All Electronics

An important condition needed for sound sleep is darkness. Digital clocks, cell phones, televisions, and computers can light up your bedroom and interrupt your sleep. The possibility of disruptions can make your bedroom less sleep-friendly. We naturally wake throughout the night and sometimes a slight glimpse of these distractions can be enough to jolt you out of sleep.

 

Focus on Scent

Whether you are a candle lover or not, focusing on the scent and aroma in your bedroom can make a difference in your nightly rest. Lighting candles or using scent diffusers can provide a more relaxing environment, especially when taking into consideration the scents themselves. Scents like lavender and jasmine can help improve relaxation and calmness. A quick spritz of soothing lavender water on your pillows before bed can also help calm your exhausted mind.

 

The Key is a Good Mattress

Sometimes a good night’s rest may be as simple as getting a new mattress. According to Sleep Help, the typical life-span of a mattress is roughly eight years and excessive wear and tear can age the product even faster. Consider the mattress’s age, condition, and comfort when determining if it’s time for a new mattress. If you are waking up sore, stiff, or unable to stretch, this also might be a sign that it’s time for an update.

 

Remember, You’re There to Sleep

Your bedroom should be a safe haven, with a calming and soothing nature, reminding your body that you are there to sleep. Activities like watching TV, eating in bed, and other recreation can displace your mindset when trying to get a better sleep. Removing excess clutter, electronics, unfolded laundry, and other things can help avoid stress and anxiety and ultimately improve your sleep schedule.
