How to Create a Cozy Bedroom Space for Sleeping

One of the key ways people use to make sure they have restful sleep is to create a cozy bedroom space. This space should achieve several goals. It should provide you with a restful environment that you find calming and soothing. It should also provide you space that provides a sort of sanctuary even on the roughest of days. To create this type of space, you are going to need a few tips and tricks to get you started.

Go With Simplicity First

One of the first things you need to do is clean out the bedroom you currently have. Start from scratch and go for simplicity. This doesn't mean getting rid of items or buying new items. What this means is that you are removing the clutter and starting with a fresh canvas of your bed, dresser, nightstand, and lamp. Keep the distractions as minimal as possible. Try to remove extra blankets, extra pillows, decorations, and multiple paintings. All of this can be distracting and keep you focused on those items instead of sleep.

Consolidate Electronics

One of the first things doctors may ask when you visit them regarding insomnia and restless sleeping is how many electronics you have in the bedroom. This is because devices like televisions, radios, and cell phones can cause distractions to keep you awake or intrude on your REM sleep or deep sleep. One thing you can do is consolidate your electronics to keep the distraction to a minimum, especially if you need something to help you sleep, like music. Consolidating can be easy. For example, remove the television, but keep a phone dock that acts as a charging station as well as an alarm clock and radio. This clears up clutter and gives you an option to use meditative apps for your sleep.

Diffuse the Bedroom

One way that many people have found to create a cozy bedroom space for sleeping is to diffuse the bedroom. This is a two-fold step. You will be diffusing the room with essential oil while diffusing the light in the room to be much softer or fade off as you drift off to sleep. One way you can do this is with a soft light essential oil diffuser. These diffusers can send your favorite calming oils into the air while giving a soft light that is ambient and soothing. The combination can help you drift off to sleep easily and provide a cozy welcoming and safe environment for your senses. 

You can use all, or some, of these tips to help you create a cozy bedroom space for sleeping. Remember, this is your space and you should make it the way you want. This means that even if something is suggested, you should not do it unless it works for you. We all have our methods that work for us and this is the one area of your home that should be 100% for you.
