Having Trouble Sleeping? Consider These Tips
Posted by AC World on December 30th, 2015
Having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep is more than an inconvenience – it can have a negative impact on your health. The good news is that AC-World is here to help you find the solutions you’re looking for. Consider these tips to improve your sleep right away.
Take a look at your paint colors
Did you know that the color of the room you’re sleeping in can have a huge impact on how well you sleep? Studies have shown that blue is actually the best color to help people sleep, while dark red is one of the worst.
Make sure your air conditioner is doing its job
Have you noticed that your air conditioner isn’t working quite as well as it used to? Are you waking up at night because it’s too cold or too warm? If so, then it may be time to repair or replace your air conditioning system. There are many options in new systems, available at a variety of efficiency levels, and they can help you stay comfortable while you sleep. Newer systems usually run more quietly – especially ductless air conditioners – which can be a huge benefit to those who wake up every time their air conditioner clicks on.
Don’t forget your air filters
Air filters work by capturing dust and dirt before it gets a chance to make its way through your home. However, if they’re not changed regularly, they can cause serious concerns. Set a reminder for yourself to change your filters every few months, or consider upgrading to a high efficiency air purification system.
Turn on the soft music
Whether you listen to white noise from a fan, soft music, or a CD with nature sounds, these noises can all lull you to sleep. They help you relax, which is key to slowly drifting away. Try one option and if it doesn’t work move on to the next one. Just because one type of soft music doesn’t work doesn’t mean that none will.
Invest in a new mattress
If your current mattress is sagging, gives you back pain, or is otherwise in bad repair, then you can bet this has something to do with your difficulty in sleeping. When you’re overdue for a mattress replacement you can deal with all sorts of issues – each one of which will negatively impact your sleep.
