SleepTree
Your Bedroom Environment
Your bedroom should be quiet and relaxing. Unwelcome noise
or light, an uncomfortable or worn-out mattress and foundation,
or a room that's too warm or too cool can prevent you from
getting the sleep you need. There's no reason to settle for
anything less than perfect sleep.
Make Your Bedroom a Sleep Sanctuary.
Is your bedroom conducive to a good night's sleep? These
four factors can make a difference:
- Mattress and Foundation. Be sure your
mattress and foundation meet your needs for both comfort
and support. If you sleep with a partner, your mattress
should also allow you both enough space to move easily.
- Light. Light is one of the body's most
powerful time cues. The rising sun can wake up the brain
long before the alarm goes off. A dark room is the most
conducive for sleep – day or night.
- Noise. Sudden, loud noises from inside
or outside the home can disrupt sleep. Steady, low sounds,
such as the whir of a fan or air conditioner, are soothing
because they help block out distracting noises.
- Temperature. The ideal bedroom temperature
is 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit (16 to 18 degrees Celsius).
A room that's too warm or too cool can disrupt comfortable
sleep.
