A Clean Bedroom Can Aid Sleep

An organized and comfortable bedroom can help you reduce stress and help you to sleep more soundly. The National Sleep Foundation recommends the following to help organize your room: remove all electronics, including the TV; use light bulbs that are 60 watts or less; make sure curtains black out sunlight; check your mattress for signs of wear; consider replacing the mattress if you wake with pain; replace worn sheets, and check that pillows are soft, fluffy, and supportive; keep your bedroom cool by using a fan; and de-clutter your room by clearing out unneeded furniture.
