Discovering Feng Shui
We hear so much about Feng Shui, a practice that has been around for hundreds of years. This Japanese practice isn’t revolutionary, but it can help you sleep better—all you have to do is move your furniture! Have you everreflected on where you’ve placed your bed? For starters, know that you should never put it near a window. It’s better to place it against thewall. It’s better to opt for simplicity rather than a clutter of objects that only serve to distrac.
Prioritize natural materials
For your furniture—and more specifically, for your bed—it’s recommended to choose natural materials (and rounded shapes rather than sharp ones). Wood, or any other material that comes from the earth, is a godsend for those who want a Zen and stress-freeatmosphere, unlike metal. Metal beds should therefore be avoided. Opt instead for mattressesmadewith natural materials.
Choose the colors for your room carefully
That's right—the color you choose for your bedroom is important and will affect your sleep! Opt for light colors that aren't too bright. If you love yellow, save it for a spot in the living room instead. Before you go all-in on white, consider beige, or a rich color likeand dark blueor.
Log out completely
In this sense, we’re not really talking about how to arrange your room, but it’s a piece of advice you often hear these days: avoid screen light at all costs before falling asleep! The blue light prevents your body from releasing melatonin, which promotes sleep. Turn off alllights and leave only the one on your nightstand on so you can read a book. This is the ideal combination for fallingas lyasleep.
Be Careful with the Heater
We can't stress this enough: the temperature in the bedroom should not exceed 19°C. In any case, you won't need anything else if you have a good comforter and some nice, warm blankets. Being too hot coulddisrupt your sleep. Plus, overusing the heat could cause you problems due to sky-high bills... so be careful!
With all these tips, sleepless nights will be nothing more than an old ordo!
