Keep Your Bedroom Calm and Organized

Your bedroom should be a place to retreat and relax, but life's clutter has a way of sneaking in and stealing your serenity. With a few simple changes, you can turn it into the peaceful place it's meant to be.

Clear the Clutter

A messy bedroom can cause stress and contribute to poor sleep quality. Toss dirty laundry in a hamper and put clean clothing in its proper place. Consider under-bed storage or baskets for non-clothing items. Avoid open shelving, as it can create unnecessary visual distractions.

Turn off Tech

It's tempting to scroll through a phone or tablet before bed, but the blue light emitted can actually keep your brain awake and stimulated, making it harder to fall asleep. Put aside devices at least one hour before bedtime, and consider leaving them in another room overnight.

Refresh Your Rest

The average lifespan for mattresses is 8–10 years. If your mattress is older than that, consider buying a new one. Don't wait for visual signs of decline. An old mattress can cause back pain or make existing pain worse. Over time, a mattress can lose its shape and accumulate buildup that affects its comfort and cleanliness, even with regular care.

Evict Equipment

Keep your computer, printer and other office equipment out of the bedroom. The same goes for exercise gear like a yoga mat or treadmill. If your bedroom is the only place you have to store these items, try hiding them behind a room divider so they're out of sight when you need to rest. Your bedroom should be associated with sleep, not mental or physical exertion. Setting boundaries between sleep and daily activities can support a healthier lifestyle.
