Your bedroom can help or hurt your sleep. The basics are a cool, dark, quiet room used mostly for rest.
The basics
- Keep it cool, dark and quiet
- Use the bed for sleep, not work
- Keep a regular bedtime and wake time, even on weekends
- Keep screens out, or at least off, near bedtime
- Make the room calm: less clutter, soft light
The CDC says adults need 7 or more hours of sleep a night. If you often have trouble sleeping, talk with your doctor. The Good Nesting isn't paid by any mattress or bedding brand.
