SIX STEPS TO BEDROOM HEAVEN
The more content we feel, the easier it is to get a good night's sleep. See how your bedroom scores on our Bedroom from Heaven checklist
Cool - 19 celsius is perfect - too hot or too cold and our body won't relax in to a restful sleep as well as it could
Dark - light sends a signal to the body about whether to wake up or fall in to slumber. So keep your room restfully dark
Calm (colour) - colour can change our emotions. Deliciously deep darks and peaceful blues are always good bets for a bedroom
Quiet - sudden unexpected noises put us on edge as they deliver a shot of adrenaline in to our system. Low hum of 'white noise) however can be soothing (think the regular hum of an aeroplane engine)
Comfy (pillows etc) - change your mattress every 7 or so years and dump pillows that no longer support your head. Aches and pains get in the way of a good night's sleep so invest in home comforts.
Tidy (declutter & bedside essentials) - a space that makes your feel good and has things that are both useful and beautiful helps you go to bed feeling calm and collected. Our bedside essentials - a notepad and pen to jot down thoughts, a good reading light and of course our Night Cream for Hands and favourite Sleep Balm within reaching distance...
