You probably know that you shouldn’t use your electronic devices such as mobile phones or drink caffeinated beverages close to bedtime. But even if you carefully follow these rules, there are several ways your bedroom decor could be ruining your sleep.
If you’re ready to make some lifestyle and design changes to your room, we are going to tell you about the 5 different ways your bedroom decor is ruining your sleep. So let’s get started!
Your bedroom wall colors are too bright!
Even if you keep your bedroom neat and clean, your wall color or decor choices could also be ruining your sleep. According to interior experts, bold wall colors, like hot pink, should be avoided, and colors that have calming hues should be chosen for the wall color. Bright colors and bold patterns excite our mind and encourage activity, rather than promoting rest.
Experts also suggest using texture instead of patterns or colors, to make your space look more appealing.
The light- coming from your phone or window!
Many studies show that blue light from our electronic devices such as phones can disturb our sleep. So, minimizing your mobile usage before bedtime is important for better sleep. Always keep your phone away from your bed when you’re going to sleep because experts say that even if you keep your phone on silent, the notification light can also wake a light sleeper.
So, if you want to have better sleep, it’s time to keep your phone away from your bed.
It’s time to change your mattress
Mattresses are quite expensive, and if you’re in your 20’s or early 30’s there are chances that you may be using one from your college. A poor-quality mattress is also responsible for ruining your sleep. We recommend you to purchase a new one if you start to wake up feeling tired, even after 8 hours of sleep.
Your window curtains aren’t able to prevent light
If the sun rays wake you up in the morning, or streetlights are preventing you from falling asleep, it may be the time for you to invest in thin-slat wooden blinds or blackout curtains.
Your bedsheets aren’t so comfortable
You have probably never thought about it, but your bedsheets might also be disturbing your sleep. Always go for the fabric which feels best next to your skin. Having a good-quality bed sheet will also help you in having a better sleep at night.
These were the 5 ways your bedroom decor is ruining your sleep. If you are someone who is not able to sleep properly at night, now is the perfect time to create an environment that promotes peaceful sleep for at least 7 hours.
