Many things can make it hard to get a good night’s rest. I had addressed sleep earlier. This time I will be talking about things that interfere with sleep
There are some simple things you can do to make it easier to fall asleep, and to help ensure that the sleep you get is high quality. The term for this is Sleep Hygiene.One of those is to make your bedroom as quiet as possible. You can reduce or disguise noises that can interfere with sleep by:
1.Using earplugs. I got the ones my family uses from an airline pack.
2.Decorating with heavy curtains and rugs, which absorb sound
3.Installing double-paned windows
4.Adding “white noise” either by purchasing a device designed specifically to provide this kind of steady hum, running a fan, or purchasing CDs or downloading apps that provide soothing sounds or soft jazz. I love Yanni's.It works in the same way lullabys lull babies to sleep.
5. Other ways to optimize your surroundings for sleep include removing the television, telephone, smart phones and any office equipment from the bedroom. For smart phones I resist the temptation by having a set time I go off line for chats. This is because our devices can be pretty addictive. This gets rid of interruptions and reinforces that the bedroom is meant for sleeping. An ideal environment is quiet, dark, and relatively cool, with a comfortable bed and minimal clutter. Banish reminders or discussions of stressful issues to another room.
