1How to Turn Your Bedroom into a Sleep Haven
2Having trouble sleeping does not immediately mean
that you are suffering from sleep disorders.
There are sleep problems that are simple to solve
by just focusing on optimizing your bedroom and
turning it into a sleep haven.
3In order to create a good sleeping environment,
you need to prioritize three things
Light, Temperature, and Time.
4In order to sleep better, you need to sleep in
total darkness. Get rid of sources of light
because even the faintest light can disrupt your
pineal glands production of melatonin and
serotonin. A good suggestion would be to block
off the light by using an eye mask. If you feel
uncomfortable sleeping with one on, you can just
use drapes to cover the windows.
5When you sleep, make sure that your room is in
optimal temperature between 60 to 68 degrees
Fahrenheit. Anything higher than 70 degrees
Fahrenheit or lower than 60 degrees Fahrenheit
will make you feel restless, preventing you from
getting rest. During sleep, your body drops
to its lowest level. A cool room can mimic
that, making it more favorable for sleep. You
may even take a hot shower before sleeping. As
soon as you finish, your body temperature will
drop, signaling you to go to bed.
6Sticking to a sleep schedule is the best way on
how to go to sleep, since this allows your body
to naturally adjust. Arrange an early sleeping
time to stimulate your bodys recharging ability
that occurs during the hours between 11pm and
1am. The ideal amount of sleep to get is six to
eight hours. Once youve trained your body for
this, you will automatically wake up at the same
time every day, without needing any alarm clock.
