Having a hard time getting quality sleep? The problem may lie within your bedroom.
You had a long day at work and feel like you can hit the sack any moment. Yet, you find yourself lying in bed for ages, waiting for sleep to come. And when it does come, it’s not the quality sleep you were hoping for. Inevitably, you wake up the next morning feeling exhausted instead of well rested, and this vicious cycle day in, day out is really wearing you out. Time to take a closer look at your bedroom for factors that stand in the way of a good night’s snooze.
GRIME AND DIRT
Clean sheets mean better sleep. Considering the amount of time you’re on the bed, it’s inevitable that your sheets trap a whole lot of dead skin and perspiration – making it the perfect breeding ground for dust mites. To make sure you’re not sharing your space with these creepy crawlies, change your bed sheets at least once a week to keep your bed clean.
