How to create a sleep friendly or conducive bedroom?

Many people have neglected bedroom is one of the important element which also contribute to Insomnia or sleep disorder. Remember our bedroom primary function is to let us sleep and rest and it is not a mini theatre or small office which distracts you from sleeping.

Now lets begin with the room environment itself. Is the floor dusty or dirty? Is there any unwanted stuff hiding at one corner waiting to be disposed? Your mind will be distracted from rest if you are resting in a dirty and untidy room. So clean up your room.

Is the street lamp glaring to your room? If so, please use the blind or curtain to block the unneccessary lighting disturb you. have you switch off all your electrical appliances like TV, radio, mobile phone or computer? The electrical appliances will emits some signals even in stand by mode.

Temperature of the room is another checklist which you should go through, i.e is the room too warm or too cold for you to fall sleep? Try to sleep in a room temperature which makes you comfortable and not just too cold or too hot which makes you awake.

Matress and pillow is important tools which we cant afford to skip. Are you comfortable with your current matress, how your back felt when you wake up? Do you prefer a hard or soft matress? Do you feel neck pain when you sleep on your pillow? Go through all these critical checklists before you can sleep comfortably.
