The goal of this article is to help you find the ideal sleep
conditions for you personal preferences. You may have to experiment
and try a variety of techniques to find what works best for you.
It is important to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere in your
bedroom. Your objective is to be highly relaxed and a calming, cool
environment with plenty of oxygen will help you feel this way.
Ideally your room should be on the cooler side; but its up to you to
experiment with a range of conditions. You don't want to wake during
the night either too hot or too cold and then find yourself wide awake
once again. Sleep experts say that the ideal room temperature is 65 to
70 degrees F.
You should try and sleep with the window open. It is important that
you have a constant fresh supply of circulating air which will help
you breathe deeply and sleep soundly.
If you find that you're woken by noises outside your bedroom, you
should consider buying ear plugs - they take a little while to get
used to but there are ear plugs that have been designed to be
comfortable and unobtrusive, which won't disturb your sleep.
If you can't bear the thought of ear plugs you may want to use a
"white noise" machine, such as a fan. The "white noise" will mask
other noises that you're not used that wake you in the middle of the
night.
Your circadian rhythm tells your body to wake up in the sunshine and
go to sleep in the dark. Therefore you should endeavor to make your
bedroom as dark as possible. You can do this by hanging thick, dark
curtains. Or you may try buying a comfortable eye mask.
Do you find yourself listening to the irritating sound of a ticking
clock? If so you should consider replacing it with a digital clock.
Also you shouldn't keep looking at the clock to see how many hours you
have to sleep will only increase your anxiety and stress about not
sleeping.
You should avoid having television, computer and stereo equipment in
your bedroom. Furthermore you should only use your CD Player to play
soothing music that will help you feel relaxed and fall asleep.
If your room is too dry you may want to purchase a humidifier,
especially in the winter months.
And lastly, it's important that you wear loose, comfortable
clothing...
