By investing a little bit of time (this isn’t a huge time commitment- we promise!) creating an optimal sleep environment, you prioritize and prioritize your sleep, setting the stage for a restful night's rest.
Sleep Tight, Keep Clutter Light!
Let's get real about our sleeping environment, shall we? Ahem It's time to bid farewell to those "extras" near our beds (yes, laundry piles, I'm looking at you!). By decluttering our sleep sanctuaries, we're giving ourselves the gift of better sleep. And hey, science backs it up! Psychologist Pamela Thacher's studies* confirm that the more clutter we have, the more likely we are to develop sleep disorders. So, let's lighten the load and say goodbye to overwhelming stimuli. Your mind will thank you, and you'll drift off to dreamland with ease. Cue the soothing sleep soundtrack.
Ready to declutter? You're in luck! The world of decluttering is overflowing with resources. Marie Kondo's method asks, "Does it bring you joy?" If not, wave it goodbye! And then there's the FlyLady method, with its daily routines and bite-sized decluttering. Our tip? Dedicate just five minutes each morning and evening to declutter your sleep haven. Bid farewell to anything that doesn't belong, whether by finding a new home for it or reevaluating its purpose and functionality. Say bye-bye clutter, hello organized bliss!
Quality over Quantity:
Sleep like royalty, my friend! When it comes to an ideal sleep environment, quality reigns supreme. Start by simplifying your bedding game. Opt for luxurious, high-quality fabrics that can outlast and outperform the rest. Say goodbye to unnecessary extras like excessive blankets and pillows. And guess what? Our pals at we’ve got your back! We offer Bedface’s stellar lineup of top-notch sheets and duvet covers. Made with 100% cotton, boasting a thread count of 300-500, and certified free of icky chemicals and toxins by Oeko-Tex®, these sheets will have you snoozing in style. Prepare for the comfiest, coziest sleep of your life.
Keep Your Sleeping Space Separate:
When you can see your dining table, TV, kitchen, or steering wheel from your bed – it’s often difficult to associate your bed with sleeping. Although we enjoy being cozy in on our HIBER all day long, attempt to avoid using your bed for activities other than sleep. Limit the number of stimulating activities in bed, such as watching TV or working on a laptop. By reserving your bed for sleeping, your mind has an easier time associating it with rest and relaxation and aids in your body’s natural-sleep wake cycle.
Create a Calming and Restful Sleep Environment:
The Sleep Foundation** suggests three factors for a sleep oasis:
- Lighting - minimize artificial light, especially the sleep-disrupting blue light from screens
- Noise - reduce disruptions with earplugs, white noise, or sound-blocking measures
- Temperature - aim for 15.6-22 degrees Celsius, enjoying the benefits of coolness, such as deeper sleep and increased melatonin production.
Bonus Tip: Invest in a cool-touch mattress like HIBER's, designed with cool gel Naturfoam and a Tencel-woven bamboo cover, for a comfortable and peaceful sleep experience. Remember, decluttering, quality accessories, and a relaxing ambiance can be achieved in any bedroom size. Sleep well, wherever you are, because quality sleep matters every day of the year!
