Block Out Disruptions Streetlights, early morning sunbeams or your neighbor’s overenthusiastic motion sensor spotlight can wreak havoc on your beauty rest. Try using blackout curtains to make sure your sleep isn’t interrupted. If you can’t find a set of curtains that go with your décor, a face mask is an easy alternative — plus, it will also block out light from inside your room. It is also important to avoid blue light about an hour before heading to bed. Yes, that means no more binge- watching or endless TikTok scrolling. However, you can use the time to unwind with activities like yoga, journaling or reading.
Smells Like Sweet Dreams Calming scents like lavender, vanilla or chamomile can relax your mind and body. Use essential oils, candles or room spray to scent your space before you sleep.
Colorful Dreamscape Colors aren’t just for aesthetics; they set the mood of a room. Avoid using warm, energizing tones like yellows and reds. Instead, give your space a refresh with soft or muted tones of blue or green for a peaceful slumber. Soundproof Your Sleep It’s hard to sleep soundly through the night when slamming car doors, barking dogs and other loud noises are disturbing your peace. White noise machines help to mask disruptive noises, so the only thing you’ll hear is the gentle whisper of tranquility.
By making just a few bedroom improvements, you'll pave the path to better sleep and brighter mornings. Turn your bedroom into a tranquil sanctuary, and you’ll wake up feeling revitalized and eager to tackle each day.
