How to Create a Sleep Sanctuary with the Right Color Scheme

 


6 interior design tips to improve your quality of sleep.

Contrary to popular belief, white is not the best color for a bedroom that promotes sleep. As a matter of fact, those with blue walls sleep for longer than those with other colored bedrooms.

2. Reasonable Soundproofing

You definitely don't need to be concerned about noise interrupting your sleep if you're one of those folks who always sleeps through your alarm clock. However, outside noise can be a bit of an issue for light sleepers, particularly if they reside in an urban location, a flat, or a terraced house. To reduce outside noise, cover your flooring with rugs and soft materials. Your bedroom's acoustics can also be lowered by using lots of pillows and thick curtains. Like you needed a reason to get additional cushions.


3. A type of Lighting

It should go without saying that a sleep sanctuary shouldn't have glaring overhead lights. To support your body's circadian cycle, use low-wattage lightbulbs after dusk and use gentle, yellow- or red-hued lighting for your bedroom. Use lights that produce a gentle downward cone of light and limit your nighttime lighting to the areas you really need lit.


4. The Tech-Free Zone

Although it may be alluring to binge-watch a Netflix series in bed, avoid sleeping with laptops, tablets, or TVs nearby. Utilizing gadgets like these right before bed might lower melatonin levels because the "blue light" they create is similar to daylight and increases alertness. If at all possible, try to avoid using them an hour before bedtime.

5. Raising the Bed

A bed with legs or one that is raised off the ground can allow more air to flow around your mattress, allowing it to breathe better. Avoid keeping items under the bed as this will hinder airflow.

6. Organic Substances
