Better Sleep Month
May 11, 2023
Apparently May is Better Sleep Month. This is a subject that is near and dear to my heart.
As parents we tend to prioritize our children above all else. I would imagine that many of you didn’t hesitate to decorate your child’s room when you knew you were expecting. Now, how many of you bothered to finish your own bedroom? I’m going to guess not that many.
More and more we know that sleep is critical to good health and longevity. Not only are you a better version of yourself when rested, but you are also preserving your brain health and physical health.
Now why is it we underestimate the value of a beautifully finished and well functioning bedroom to sleep in?
An amazing mattress is a great way to start creating your dream bedroom. I like to specify Essentia mattresses for my clients. They are organic, super comfortable, made to order in Canada and ship in a small box to reduce their carbon footprint. Seems like a win all around.
Bed linens also make a huge difference not only to the look of your room but to your comfort and temperature regulation for a good sleep. Natural fibres are a must. I like linen, cotton, or bamboo. The tightness of the weave will depend on your personal preference. Your duvet choice will also be a personal choice. Down is a common option but silk filled duvets are wonderful for those of us who find down a bit too warm. A good bedding store like Au Lit Fine Linens in Toronto will be a great help in guiding you to the right bedding solutions to suit your needs.
In addition to a great mattress, beautiful window coverings that provide necessary room darkening are a must.
Nightstands at the perfect height with a great reading light will let you unwind with a good book, and no tech! If you are a reader, an upholstered headboard is a wonderful option for comfort.
Don’t forget something soft underfoot. A beautiful large scale area rug will ground the whole room and provide some sound absorption too.
