How To Relax And Prepare The Best
Atmosphere For Your Bedroom
People spend around a third of their lives in their
bedroom. This has to make it one of the most important rooms in the house,
yet it's often not a room that people give much thought to. All too often
bedrooms are used to store things that need to be out of public view,
or to keep laundry, books, ironing etc. Clothes can pile up if allowed
to, and the bedroom soon begins to be somewhere not particular restful
and inviting.
Does your bedroom say "Come and rest here"?
Is it cosy and inviting?
Making a good atmosphere
The atmosphere in your bedroom has a profound effect on the type and quality
of sleep you get. The overall impression should be soft and inviting -
rugs, soft bedding, long curtains etc. Use your favourite restful colours
- blue or pastels works best - nothing too bright to stimulate your vision
last thing at nightˇK Make the bedroom welcoming, containing nice things
you're attached to and pleasant memories, but not too cluttered. Simple
things such as closing the door makes the room more enclosed and cosy.
Natural fabrics on the bed and for your nightclothes are best, as they
don't raise static electricity and the fabric breathes. Above all, have
a good mattress and pillows - the best you can afford.
Heating and lighting
Bedroom temperatures should be comfortable, neither hot nor cold - scientists
say 65 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal for sleep. Electric blankets may be
warm, but they generate electromagnetic radiation, and they interfere
with the body's natural tendency to reduce temperature while you sleep.
Bedroom lighting should be soft and gentle. Try using lamps rather than
full lights - it's more restful on the eyes. Or use candles at night before
bedtime - the soft flickering light has a hypnotic effect and can train
the brain to relax and start slowing down for sleep.
Remove stimulation
Ban all devices such as telephones, TV and DVD/video, which are distracting,
can stimulate your mind, and give off electromagnetic radiation. Similarly,
remove books, magazines etc.
Fresh air
If you have an ensuite toilet or bathroom, keep the door closed so steam
and odours don't come into the bedroom. Smells of toiletries may be wonderful
and invigorating in your morning shower, but they are not going to help
you sleep at night! Stagnant air can be stuffy. If this bothers you, try
an ioniser or air purifier in the bedroom. NASA scientists found that
plants clean air pollution, so plants are a good idea, as well as being
welcoming and inviting (so long as you don't choose spiky varieties!),
but not too many, as they do give off carbon dioxide at night.
Light and Dark
Our bodies have a natural rhythm called the circadian rhythm. This is
reset each day by light. If we are exposed to too much light, such as
skylights, thin curtains etc, our rhythms become out of synch and we can
feel lethargic. Have curtains that keep out the light, and put blinds
on skylights.
The bedroom is for sleeping
The bedroom is for sleeping, and not other activities (except sex!). If
you read, watch TV etc in the bedroom, you may find your brain starts
to associate the room with those activities. This can lead to difficulty
sleeping, or sleep being lighter than you need. If you need to nap during
the day, don't do it in the bedroom, use somewhere else if possible. You
want your mind to associate the bedroom with restful sleep, not cat-napping.
Similarly, don't read or watch TV in the bedroom, or work or do any other
activities but rest.
If you have trouble sleeping...
" The best way to relax and sleep is to stop trying to sleep and
just allow yourself to sleep.
" Get up at a regular time every day, regardless
of how tired you feel or what time you went to bed. This helps your body-clock
establish a pattern it can work to.
" Lavender fragrance is said to assist sleep
and relaxation. If noise keeps you awake, tune a radio to a soft hiss
between stations. This "white noise" distracts the brain from
external noises.
" If you can't sleep, get up and leave the
bedroom - remember you want to create a powerful mental association between
that room and sleeping. Go and read, watch TV, have a hot drink, and return
when more tired. If you still can't sleep or wake again, leave the bedroom
again! Staying in bed when unable to sleep only creates a mental association
between lying in bed and not sleeping.
