The bedroom is a space that requires quietness and ventilation so that the body can recover after a day of work. However, according to the Sleep Foundation, many people accidentally turn their bedrooms into places of stress just because of unreasonable storage of items.
First, electronic devices such as TVs, phones, and laptops are common causes of insomnia. Green light from screens inhibits the production of melatonin - a hormone that helps you sleep deeply - making it difficult to fall asleep and easy to wake up in the middle of the night.
Second, mirrors opposite the bed can easily create a feeling of being "watched" unconsciously, causing insecurity, especially at night. Some feng shui experts also believe that mirrors placed in the wrong position can disrupt resting energy.
Third, big trees or trees produce a lot of CO2 at night. Although the plant helps purify the air, if placed incorrectly or too much, at night the plant will emitted CO2, affecting breathing and oxygen in the room.
Fourth, eye-catching or energetic decorations such as abstract paintings, violent images or colors that are too bright can easily cause the brain to be stimulated and have difficulty relaxing before bed.
Finally, a alarm with bright light or loud noises will create a feeling of tension even before waking up. Choose those that sound gentle, have blurred light or are placed far from the bed sheets.
Experts recommend keeping a simple, clean sleeping space and separate from electronic devices to ensure sustainable sleep quality.
