Create the Perfect Sleep Environment
To create the perfect sleep environment, you need to make your bedroom your sanctuary, your refuge and your retreat. Make it a place for relaxation, romance and sleep.
Remove the clutter — the magazines, office files and random stuff. If the walls need painting, paint them. If you have a vase, fill it with flowers.
You need to train your mind/body to think of your bed as a place to sleep, not a place to work on a computer, play a video game, talk on the phone, or watch TV. When you associate the bedroom with sleep, you condition yourself to feel sleepy when you go into your bedroom and look at your bed.
If you must use the phone, get out of bed and go into another room to talk. Keep it out of your sleep sanctuary.
The more inviting your bed, the more conducive for sleep it will be. If good sleep is important to you, invest in a good bed.
More tips on selecting a good bed and mattress can be found in Chapter 4 of the book, Sleep Secrets.
