How To Get a Good Night’s Sleep

At the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, England – there is an enormous bed on display.

It always attracts a crowd.

The bed is known as the “Great Bed of Ware”.

What makes it so fascinating?

Well, for starters, it’s particularly ornate and extremely old.

And it really is LARGE.

In fact, it was known to have slept up to ten people at one time!

Odd as that may sound, back in the late 16^th century this wasn’t so unusual.

You see, the idea of a separate bedroom as we know it today, did not exist yet.

In fact, people typically spent every aspect of their day in one room – eating, living and sleeping.

A bed was multi-purpose, as was pretty much all furniture, and easily transportable.

(Except for the Great Bed of Ware, I’d venture to guess).

And why so many people in one bed, you might be wondering?

Again, it wasn’t that uncommon – a matter of warmth and limited space.

Plus, things like privacy and comfort were not on anyone’s radar.

Of course, we might wonder about their quality of sleep – under such crowded conditions.

If you’re concerned about your own quality of sleep, there are several things to consider for your own bedroom.

Because, a good night’s sleep is really SO important.

Simply by making certain changes to our environment – we can ultimately control the way our bodies respond.

 

It’s All in the Lighting!

During the day, most of us are exposed to daylight.

In fact, the blue tones of early morning light tell us it is the start of a new day.

Throughout the course of the day, the quality of daylight changes from blue to yellow, to reddish tones in the evening.

Throughout the day, our bodies are constantly responding to the light around us, which is how it eventually knows it is time to slow down and rest.

So, what is the key to a restful night’s sleep?

Shutting off your electronics and the TV well before bedtime!

Think it can’t be done?

Then try this:

An hour or two before bed, power down your computer, turn off the TV – and dim the lights.

Then sit down with a good book and read quietly for 30 minutes or so.

(No checking message on your phone either!)

Trust me – everything can wait until morning!

Try this for a day or two and see if you notice a difference in your sleep patterns.

What About Color?

If your bedroom walls are painted white, or any light hue that is highly reflective – you need to re-think the paint color.

Again – this is because your bedroom needs to be as dark as possible.

You want a deeply pigmented color.
