How to do it:
Remove all phones from the bedroom.
Why do it:
Removing phones from the bedroom minimizes interruptions
to sleep. The 2011 Sleep in America Poll conducted by the National Sleep
Foundation found that cell phones were a sleep disturbance. Twenty
percent of generation Y’ers and 18% of generation Z’ers polled said that
they are awakened after they go to bed by a phone call, text message, or
e-mail, at least a few nights a week. If you must have your mobile phone in
your bedroom, then activate “Do Not Disturb” mode during evening hours
so you don’t get woken up by notifications but your emergency contacts
can still reach you.
Use the bedroom only for sleep and sex
How to do it:
Create the best environment to support good sleep and sex,
which includes removing all screens from your bedroom including
televisions, computers, and cell phones. If you have a desk in your room
for work or study or regularly use your bedroom for other activities, then
designate hours of the day (between 8pm and 6am, for example) when
other activities are off-limits.
Why do it:
The bedroom should only be used for sleep and sex. Removing
screens from the bedroom helps reinforce the association between the
bed and sleep. In addition, artificial light from screens including digital
clocks can disrupt sleep.
Set the temperature of your
bedroom to 65°F
Dim the lights an hour
before bed
How to do it:
Set your thermostat to 65°F
at bedtime. If you have a programmable
thermostat, program it to automatically
adjust to 65°F during sleeping hours.
Why do it:
Temperatures below 54°F or
above 75°F can actually wake you up at
night. The ideal temperature for sleep is
around 65°F. If it feels a little colder than
you’d like, grab a couple of extra blankets.
