Introduction

I’m an insomniac. There, I said it, and I’m not ashamed of it. But the truth is, even though I’ve got a solid grip on my insomnia, that doesn’t mean I don’t still struggle to get a good night’s sleep sometimes. My insomnia can be triggered by stress or anxiety, but if you don’t suffer from chronic sleeplessness like me, you might be dealing with other issues that are keeping you up at night: too much work, too much caffeine/alcohol/nicotine (or all three), or certain medications that can make falling asleep difficult for some people. Whatever your reasons for struggling with sleep are, there are simple things you can do to help yourself make positive changes towards a better night’s rest so that you can fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer—all without leaving the comfort of your bedroom!

Change your mattress.

The first thing to do is get a good mattress. Memory foam mattresses are the best for sleeping. They conform to your body, so you don’t sink into them or roll out of them at night—they’re supportive and comfortable.

Here’s how to choose one:

• Take note of how you sleep on your current mattress, and make sure that it’s not too soft or too firm (you can also feel this by pressing down firmly on the surface with your hand). If it feels like you sink in, then buy something firmer! And if it feels like there’s no give at all when you press down firmly with your hand, get something softer!
• Try out different types of mattresses—in store or online—to see which ones feel best for you. Some people love memory foam because they’re soft but supportive at once; others prefer spring mattresses because they’re bouncy but still firm enough not to sag over time (which happens with some memory foams). It varies person-to-person so just try out some options until one feels right!

Invest in the right pillows.

It doesn’t matter how much you love your memory foam mattress, if you don’t invest in the right pillow, it will never rest as comfortably as it should. First and foremost, make sure that your pillow is comfortable and supportive of your neck. Your head should be supported at all times by the pillow, so that there’s no strain on the neck muscles or spine. It also needs to be the right size for your head (not too small) and height off of the shoulders (not too high). Finally, it needs to have sufficient thickness for maximum comfort when sleeping on a memory foam mattress—understandably so!

Make your bedroom more sleep-friendly.

The environment around you can have a big impact on the quality of your sleep. Here are some tips for making your bedroom more sleep-friendly:

• Keep it cool. The ideal temperature for sleeping is usually between 65 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 20 degrees Celsius). Anything above or below that range can cause problems with sleep, so if you’re having trouble falling asleep, try turning down the thermostat in your house.
• Keep it dark. You may think that natural light will help wake up your body naturally each morning, but too much exposure to bright lights at night can make it harder for you to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night—especially if those lights come from electronic devices like smartphones and tablets that emit blue light, which has been shown to disrupt melatonin levels in humans. If possible, use blackout curtains or blinds in your bedroom so no light gets in through windows and keep electronic devices away from where they’ll be exposed to light sources such as lamps or overhead lights during nighttime hours (or set them on airplane mode).

Make it easier for yourself to get a good night’s rest by making your bedroom your sanctuary and picking the best sleep products for you.

If you want to get a better night’s sleep, start by making your bedroom your sanctuary. It should be a place that feels comfortable and relaxing so you can relax and drift off into a peaceful slumber.

If you’re not sleeping well, it could be because one of the three things below is keeping you up:

• Your mattress isn’t comfortable or supportive enough.
• Your pillow isn’t breathable enough.
• Your bedding doesn’t fit your bed properly or is too worn out from use over time.
