How many times have we heard or seen bedtime and morning routines swirl around the web. Everyone is obsessed with getting enough sleep. Sleep habits has become a consistent hot topic in the world of health with benefits that span across memory improvement, a longer life-span, reduced stress and boosts in creativity.

The bedroom has become a sacred space in every home, with lush candles, lavender essential oils and thick curtains allowing for you to get the best sleep possible. While there are many tips you can follow to help you hit the hay and get enough shut-eye to increase your productivity during the next day, Brad Roemer also recommends making your bedroom a secret oasis with these cool bedroom buys.

1. Buy a Weighted Blanket

If you’ve been grappling with extra stress due to something tough that’s been going on in your life, whether it be a job or a sick parent, you know first-hand how difficult receiving an uninterrupted night’s sleep can be. Consider purchasing a weighted blanket. Interested in the advantages of a weighted blanket? Turns out they can help break painful anxiety or insomnia patterns due to the grounding feeling of the blanket pressing down on you. In scientific terms, such a grounding sentiment helps reduce cortisol, the stress hormone that causes humans to have a fight-or-flight reaction. While cortisol definitely spikes in highly-stressful life or death situations, the hormone is also present during anxiety-driven emotions or upset reactions.

If tuning down before bed can be a challenge for you with evergreen thoughts popping up in your mind, then the weighted blanket is key to decreasing a heightened nervous system. Brad Roemer suggests opting for a weighted blanket that is between 7% to 10% of your body weight.

2. Go Blue–Don’t Be Blue

It is said that the color blue in the bedroom ameliorates sleep. Therefore, using a deeply-toned blue shelving unit or a dusty blue paint in your room will soothe you sweetly to sleep, ensuring that you wake up with bright eyes and ready to tackle the day!

 3. Get Rid of Clutter!

Have you ever noticed that your environment heavily dictates your emotions? If your space is clutter-free with sleek floors and sparkly counter tops, you’re more likely to feel a sense of relief when you get home from a long day of work. If piles of laundry are covering your floor and your office desk is full of miscellaneous objects from your last trip and un-opened paperwork, then you are due for a massive turnaround. Invest in make-shift baskets and boxes to help keep your clutter out of eyes-sight and to a minimum. Rid yourself of the stressful and depressive thoughts that torment your mind when your space is not zen enough by being constructive about your home space.
