• Shut the laptop: People often carry their laptop to bed, this habit can get in the way of your much needed sleep. Draw the line and never ever carry the laptop to bed, because to get up fresh the next morning to start your day afresh, you need to sleep well andpeacefully to get up healthy and fresh for the next day ahead.

• Remove TV from bedroom: Keep TV out of your bedroom. Loud and disturbing TV telecast could leave you feeling anxious and agitated, and you would hardly be able to get sound and peaceful sleep. So, shut off the tube and sleep well in peace.

• Make your bed properly: Your mattress, pillows and linens, play a major role in giving you a peaceful sleep through the night. A hard and stiff mattress can do more harm than good ( despite what most people think ),causing back pain instead alleviating it, while an old and lumpy mattress may not support your back and neck. Instead of using synthetic pillows, use feather pillows, for synthetic pillows may hold five times as much dust mites thus aggravating asthma symptoms. As far as your bedding goes, use something soft and comfortable, and always wash your linen at least once a week. If you have a nice, cozy and comfortable bed you will definitely sleep well through the night.

• Keep your pet away: Some people have a habit of taking their pet to their bed. Making your pet share your bed might not be a good idea at all. Sharing your bed with a pet can be disruptive and it may also irritate your partner as well and you might be sleeping in cramped quarters thereby disturbing your sleep and preventing you from sleeping well. It’s better to have a separate pillow and a pet bed for your pet.

• Avoid a night lamp: Research has shown that in order to get peaceful sleep at night, one must keep the bedroom dark and should not use a night lamp. Light becomes a hindrance and a disturbing factor for you to sleep well, therefore to get a relaxed andpeaceful sleep, keep your bedroom dark and avoid using a night lamp.
