Make your bedroom a great place to sleep

Try to:

• Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and tidy.
• Use ear plugs to reduce the chance of having your sleep disrupted by sound, especially if you live in a noisy environment, like a city.
• Install a diffuser with a calming scent like lavender.

Avoid

• Using your bed and bedroom for activities other than sleeping and sex.
• Eating in bed.
• Using a TV, computer and mobile phone for at least 30 minutes before bedtime. Research has shown that the type of light that is emitted from their screens can stop you from getting sleepy.
• Planning or problem solving in bed.
