Sleep: Bedroom Makeover

Getting quality sleep starts with the right environment. Your bedroom should be a sanctuary for rest, so setting it up to promote relaxation and healthy sleep habits is key. Here are some tips to optimize your bedroom for better sleep:

KEEP IT COOL:

The ideal sleep temperature is between 60–67°F (15–20°C). A cooler room helps lower your body temperature, signaling to your body that it’s time to sleep.

LIMIT LIGHT EXPOSURE

Darkness is essential for good sleep. Use blackout curtains or an eye mask to block light, and avoid screens (like your phone or TV) at least 30–60 minutes before bed.

INVEST IN A COMFORTABLE MATTRESS & PILLOW

Your mattress and pillows should support your sleep position and comfort preferences. Invest in quality bedding that promotes restful sleep.

DECLUTTER YOUR SPACE

A tidy room can promote relaxation. Try to keep your bedroom clean and free of distractions, like work materials or technology.

LIMIT NOISE

If your room is noisy, consider white noise machines, earplugs, or noise-canceling headphones to block out disruptive sounds.

KEEP A CONSISTENT SLEEP SCHEDULE

Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day helps regulate your circadian rhythm, leading to better sleep quality.
