Sleeping comfortably tips

Evenings are a great time to slow down. These six habits make the bedroom a calmer place.

1. Cool the room

A slightly cooler bedroom is more comfortable for most people.

2. Check the pillow

A pillow that keeps the head comfortable helps.

3. Wash the bedding

Fresh sheets feel good and keep dust down.

4. Dim the lights

Lower the lamps an hour before bed.

5. Close the screens

Charge your phone across the room.

6. Wind down gently

Try slow breathing or a short stretch.
