People usually invest a lot of time in turning their living room and apartment overall into a cozy place to just relax and escape the real world with all its problems. We get it, it’s the place you get to spend most of your free time and you want it to feel as comfortable and as lovely as it can be.

But have you ever thought about turning your bedroom into a sleep oasis? After all, you spend more time sleeping in the bedroom than just sitting in your living room, and you deserve to sleep and get your rest in the best conditions possible. We will help you make your bedroom the sleep oasis that you truly need.

Lightning

The first thing you need to do to improve your sleeping experience is getting thick, heavy curtains for the windows in your bedroom. When you go to sleep, one of the most important things is to rest in complete darkness. If your outdoor lighting is keeping you up at night, landscape lighting, which you can control through a smartphone app could be your solution. Dimmer switches in the bedroom are also great because they can help you wind down or wake up at a slow pace. There are also motion-detection night lights. The important thing is not to be disturbed by lights of any kind in order to get a good night’s sleep.

Temperature

Naturally, we would all like to go to sleep in a nice warm bedroom, the warmer the better. And yes, it is easier to fall asleep in a warmer room, but it is harder to stay asleep when the temperature is high. It’s ideal to sleep in a somewhat cool space, but not too cool because when we sleep, our body temperature drops. So, the optimal temperature of your bedroom at night should be between 65 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit. When it gets really cold outside, try using a thick comforter instead of turning up the thermostat.

Sounds

Relaxing music is a good way to unwind after a long day. Put on some classical music, or jazz to soothe your soul. Choose light, easy melodies to bring you to sleep. Natural sounds are a great option too. The sounds of rain, waterfall, or ocean waves will calm and clear your mind. You can download smartphone apps that play the perfect sounds to fall asleep. The music to set the mood for sleep is an essential part of the sleep oasis. You will feel happier and more satisfied when you wake up, too.

Design and Scents

Your bedroom should be used for sleep and sleep only. There should be no clutter around your bed because it can stress you out. It should be a neat room without too many things. Remove the excessive books, unfolded laundry and ornaments. The best colors for the bedroom are cool colors like light blue, grey, silver, green, and lavender. When it comes to scents, you should go for lavender, chamomile, vanilla, and jasmine. Plug an oil diffuser into the wall or spray these scents onto your pillow. Scents can do wonders for your sleep.

Of course, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to falling asleep and even more importantly, staying asleep. With your CPAP therapy in tow, finding and developing a night-time routine that works for you will improve the quality of your life in major terms.
