Sleep Clean

THERE’S NO UNDERESTIMATING a good night’s sleep. Some drift off to sleep as soon as they hit the sack, while others struggle as sleep eludes them for hours. Studies show that a clean environment leads to better quality of sleep, because it isn’t just about how quickly you get sleep and how long you stay asleep, but getting the right kind of sleep to restore your brain.

Cleanliness is believed to contribute to better sleep. Cleaning your room regularly, removing clutter from around you, making the bed, using an air purifier to keep it free of mites – avoiding discomfort or allergies – can ensure you have a good night’s sleep. Keep activities like working and watching television out of the bedroom to trigger readiness to sleep more easily. Make your bed or ready it for sleep, and let your brain know the difference between sleep time and everything else.
