According to scientists, many people are finding it difficult to get enough sleep due to an increase in tensions and stress in their daily lives which in turn is affecting their health as well as their personal and professional lives. This problem "of getting to sleep" is known as insomnia and there are a number of medications available to cure this disorder.
Many people do not want to resort to sleep inducing medicines and look for better, more natural and low-cost ways to cure insomnia. According to experts, the sleep mechanism of a person is highly influenced by the room in which they sleep and thus by making a few significant changes in their rooms, they can actually get their sleep back.
Here are a few expert tips for insomniacs to redesign their bedroom in order to get more sleep and rest:
Studies have proven that the color of the walls in a bedroom directly influences the way a person feels and this affects their sleep. It is always best to not use very dark colors for bedroom walls. Lighter shades help a person to relax, calm down and feel comfortable which are very important factors in getting proper sleep. Hence, light hues of blue, green, peach and tan are highly recommended for a bedroom. Bed and pillows also play a very important role to induce sleep. If a person is not getting enough sleep, chances are that their bed is not comfortable enough. It is important that a person select the right size mattress with the firmness that suits them best and the same goes for their pillows, This would help them to get a good night's sleep.

Lighting in a room also impacts sleep. The lighting in the bedroom should be low to induce quality sleep. Similarly, it is always advisable to get curtains that block out light from the outside such as street and car lights. People suffering from insomnia should invest in black out curtains to ensure that their sleep is not disrupted by early morning light or lights filtering in from street lamps.
Say Bye to TV and Mobile Phones:
Many people have the habit of watching television in bed. Similarly, many people also like to play or read on their mobile phones before going to bed. Though these things are tempting and relaxing, they have an adverse effect on sleep. The radiation from these devices actually make the brain alert which stops producing the sleep-inducing chemicals that people need and this contributes to a lack of sleep.
With these small and low-cost bedroom redesigns, a person suffering from insomnia can actually get a good night's sleep.
