If you don’t know, then you should know, that having more improved sleep is vital for our bodies and minds. Catching the best ’40 winks’ possible is vital to make us feel more energised, improve our mood, and to give us that up and at ‘em mentality, whatever it is you are trying to achieve. There are some things you can get for your bedroom that can aid with sleep at night. Here are just a few of them:
- Bed Sheets – Seems obvious, right? But getting high-quality bed sheets can make a huge difference. Look for soft materials such as linen, cotton, or maybe even bamboo are all excellent choices for single bed sheets. Make sure it’s breathable, and find the right thread count that you find the most comfortable – usually between 300 and 500.
- Pillow – Choosing the right pillow can be a right pain in the neck! The thickness, the material, can really throw a spanner into the works. Be sure to choose one that keeps your back nice and straight. A good choice of pillow could be latex, down, or a memory foam pillow. If all else fails, just sleep without a pillow. At least that way, you aren’t stressing out about what pillow suits you best!
- Mattress Topper – Just throw one on, and see the difference it makes. That extra layer really does give an added layer of comfort and softness, making it all the sweeter when you hop into bed after a long day.
- Comforter or Duvet – Of course here, you need to take into consideration where you live, and the climate throughout the year. Hot climate = lighter option. Cooler climate = thicker option. Be sure to choose a material that you enjoy, as that bad boy is with you for a solid seven to eight hours a day. At least, it should be. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep people.
- Mattress – Where would we be without the fabled mattress? To the beautiful person or people who invented this majestic, humble item, we salute you. Choose the material that you feel suits your sleeping style and body type. Options include latex, memory foam, innerspring, or hybrid mattresses. Please, please make sure you change your mattress every seven to ten years. You will certainly recognise the difference.
- Blackout Curtains – Again, thank goodness these exist. Possibly underrated and undervalued, blackout curtains can make a big difference if you are living in a part of the world that experiences longer days during the summer months. They can enhance your sleep, and also keep your bedroom cooler, meaning if you live in warmer climes, you can save energy by not needing to turn your air conditioner on so often.
Just by getting the basic things correct in terms of what you have within your bedroom, can make a huge difference to how you sleep, therefore leading to you being more productive, more positive, and a better version of yourself.
