sleep

Sleep is extremely important in ensuring that we function at our best.  A good night sleep allows us to regenerate and recharge after a long day and therefore, the bedroom is one of the most important rooms in your home.  If you are having difficulty sleeping, consider making a few quick and inexpensive changes to your bedroom:

1.  remove all clutter;  remember that clutter is really a bunch of undone tasks, so that is the last thing you want to surround yourself with when you’re trying to close your eyes

2.  remove any items that are work related and ensure the clothes you wore that day are in the laundry hamper or out of sight

3.  radios, televisions, computers and anything else that emits electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) make it more difficult to relax.  In fact, even when electronics are not turned on they still are emitting frequencies, so try to remove them from your bedroom.  If you cannot part with the television (I certainly cannot) then try covering it at night with a blanket or towel for a few weeks and see if that helps your sleep

4.  always ensure your closet and ensuite doors are closed at night to allow a more peaceful sleep

5. headboards are extremely important in ensuring that you feel grounded and safe when you sleep.  For this reason, solid headboards are the best in providing that stability and support

6.  remove mirrors from the bedroom if possible, as they increase the energy of a room.  If you are not willing to part with the mirror, then place it so that you do not see your own reflection or the bed, when you are lying down.  As with the television, you can drape a sheet or cloth over it as well

7.  remove anything with sharp edges and spiky plants – these items increase the energy in your room which is the opposite of what you need. 

Those suggestions will get you started.  What changes can you make to ensure a better night sleep?
