, since we seem to only be able to grab a couple of hours of sleep a night, often for reasons we are not quite sure of.
Although factors like too much caffeine before bed and our busy lives in general certainly dont help the situation, it may well also be that the design of your bedroom has something to do with your inability to sleep. Here are some very simple remodeling and design tips to help turn your bedroom into a better place to sleep and sleep well:
Change the Color Temperature Sometimes something as simple as cooling the color temperature in your bedroom can make it a far more relaxing place to be. Light blues, greens and grays are all great choices. When you do have the room repainted though, make sure that your painting contractor uses paints that are low in Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), as an excessive amount of these nasty VOCs in any room can lead to headaches, allergies and sometimes even worse.
Kill the Clutter Are there piles of laundry yet to be put away in the corner of your bedroom and random piles of stuff littering the bedroom landscape simply because you have nowhere else to put it all? Its almost impossible to relax properly in a messy room so why not consider having some new custom closets built? There are some wonderful options available today and in many cases a professional closet installation professional can actually show you ways to gain closet space without losing floor space by making the most of your bedrooms basic layout.
Ban Technology In order for your bedroom to serve its proper purpose a place for you to rest the technology has to go. That means the computer, the TV and that treadmill you used once, three years ago. Removing the TV from the bedroom is an idea that is painful to some but once its gone you will be glad.
