What Is A Dreamy Bedroom (Part 2)?

Thursday, July 19th, 2018

Achieving the dreamy bedroom is easy with the Lazarus King headboard from the Meritage Collection of Fine Furniture Design.

Previously, we discussed the first three things that could make up a dreamy bedroom which are –

  • Picking the right bedroom color
  • Bedroom cleanup
  • And the incorporation of Feng Shui.

Here are other tips that can help you achieve quality sleep –

Block Out the Light

Did you notice that keeping a night light could sometimes get in the way of quality sleep? So why should we sleep in the dark?

The human body is programmed to sleep only in darkness. This means you have to – not just minimize but to completely turn off any glowing gadgets such as your laptop screen, computer monitor, even your clock radio.

Chronic exposure to these lights during the night can be bad. This has a lot to do with the circadian rhythmicity. During the day, mankind has sunlight but, at night, we only have the stars and the moon. Mankind’s biological programming remembered these and so man is programmed to sleep in complete darkness.

Moonlight is a totally different lighting compared to artificial lights. LAN or artificial lighting at night is less powerful than the sun but a lot greater than moonlight. Melatonin suppression is to be blamed in understanding why LAN is not good for man.

The brain’s pineal gland produces melatonin during sleep. It helps in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, lowering the blood pressure as well as the body temperature and glucose levels. The brain has a group of cells right at the hypothalamus which responds to dark and light signals. Once these group of cells senses that there is light, then it tells the brain to wake up.

Other body processes then kick-start such as the production of cortisol and raising body temperature. So when you are aiming to improve the quality of your sleep, it’s as simple as turning off the nightlight when you’re ready to sleep.

Use Quality Sheets and Mattress

You know what’s tragic? When you recently bought a mattress and you’re still suffering from back pain.

If this is happening to you, then it is probable that you have chosen the wrong kind of mattress to sleep in. So what kind of mattress does your body need?

The answer to this widely varies. With a lot of mattress types, it is not just about your preferences but also about a little science that could make or break your sleep. The hybrid type of mattress is made with a fusion of polyurethane foam, latex, memory, coils, and/or various other materials.

The hybrid type is best for people who want to have a little bounce but also want support. These are sleepers who expect comfort together with a cool fabric.

The latex type, on the other hand, is best for people who also want a cool mattress that has a great bounce. Also, it is a foam that is highly responsive, meaning, for sleepers who love a good foam but are veering away from the contour of memory foam.

The third type is the memory foam which best known for its body contouring, pressure relief, and amazing support. This is for sleepers who want a great body hug.

The coil type of mattress is for the sleeper who needs the traditional feel of spring. It has an amazing bounce and cooling effect. For those who want cushion comfort, the mattress type to invest in is the pillow-top.

As for the sheets, find the ones that are not heavy and rough. Remember that the higher the thread count, the better. Also, be sure to get sheets that are temperature-regulated. Use microfiber or bamboo sheets.

Don’t forget to regularly clean your bedroom as well.
