Looking for a good night's rest?
Three out of four people don't get enough sleep. That means 75% on us are wandering around in a daze or hazy frame of mind! Believe it or not, your bedroom atmosphere may be inhibiting you from a perfect nights rest. Here are a few helpful hints to get your room into shape for a peaceful rest: Use the Right Colours. Soft shades of pale green, watery blue and warm beige ease your body into a relaxed mode, helping you fall asleep more peacefully. Pick the Perfect Pillow. Side sleepers should opt for extra-firm pillows; medium to firm density is best for people who sleep on their backs; and stomach sleepers sleep more soundly with medium to soft pillows. Turn out the lights. Blackout curtains or shades are a must to induce a deep sleep. Cool Off. Your bedroom's temperature should ideally be kept at about 18 degrees for the best night's sleep. Keep it quiet. Background noise can alter sleep patterns and cause you to wake up exhausted.
