How does good design impact your sleep?

Here are some ways you can optimize your sleep through design…

1. Your bedroom should be a place of refuge from everyday stresses. Watching the news, working to meet those last-minute deadlines, sorting and storing files and paying bills should all find other locations in the home for those purposes. For those finding yourselves working from home avoid connecting any workspace to your sleep space.
2. Your mattress, pillows and bedding are all key to a restful sleep. They support your body, regulate your temperature and keep you comfortable while your body renews itself for another day.
3. Lighting is key to helping you fall asleep and stay asleep. Choosing window coverings that block all outside light sources might be one of your best investments in your sleep. Choosing proper light sources and selecting the best bulbs for sleep are all important considerations.
4. Declutter. A space that is free from the anxiety and distraction of clutter can greatly increase your ability to relax and set the mood for sleep.
5. When you first open your eyes in the morning your space should make you smile and set the tone for your day. Perhaps it’s a piece of art or a photo of loved ones. Maybe its a beautiful light fixture above your bed that creates a pretty pattern on the ceiling.
