Optimizing the Bedroom: What Role Does the Environment Play in Getting a Good Night’s Rest?

[kristiann]

We made a few changes to our bedroom a couple of months ago. New curtains, different lighting, and a better mattress were all supposed to help us feel more comfortable at night. The room is definitely cozier now, but so far, I haven't noticed as much of a difference in how rested I feel as I had expected.
What surprises me most is that on some nights, I sleep seven or eight hours without any problems and still don't feel properly rested the next morning. On other days, I seem to need fewer hours of sleep and feel much more energetic. Of course, I understand that stress, physical activity, and many other factors can play a role. Still, I wonder whether there might be something I'm overlooking when it comes to setting up our bedroom.
While researching possible solutions, I came across various wellness products, including Somavedic. According to the manufacturer, these devices are associated with well-being indoors and various aspects of the sleep environment.
I'm particularly interested in three things: Has anyone tested a device like this over an extended period? Have you noticed any changes in your sleep or overall well-being? And have you tried documenting those changes in some objective way, rather than relying solely on your initial impression?

dont buy products.

the 3 keys to get inner sleep:

1. : breath comfortably, and the breathing out even more relaxed.
(this signals that you are in complete safety / opposite of panic breathing)

2. : relax you tongue. Let it hang freely in the mouth without using muscels.

3. : focus on your feet bloodcirculation.
(brain stopps spinning, you will fall asleep immeadetly)

Research on the body’s physiological response to electric and magnetic fields (EM) is mostly focused on very high levels of EM fields. In a search a year or so ago I didn’t find any evidence-based research on how low level EM fields affect human physiology and sleep.

Buying one of these devices is like buying audiophile tweaks - you spent the money, you will experience an improvement even if it is only psychological. May be worth a try if they offer a no questions asked money back guarantee.

Or, if you want to, it’s easy to remove intentional EM radiators from your bedroom.
Keep your mobile devices out of the room, as far away as you can get them.
If you have a TV, unplug it at night.
Smart outlets and dimmers? Get rid of them.
Don’t wear or use any fitness trackers - they all radiate EM fields close to your body.
Get rid of anything else wireless in the bedroom.
Use a mechanical wind up alarm clock.
Remove all LED lamps and replace with incandescent. LED lamps use switching power supplies that emit EM fields when the lights are on. Some smart bulbs emit fields all the time as the want you to leave them powered.

This will remove most EM fields at the source. It is harder to get rid of stray powerline fields, apart from pulling the breaker for your bedrooM before bed, which no one will want to do.

Good luck! I too sometimes get a great night’s sleep, other times not so much. It can be elusive.

I was trying to decide if this was Better Homes and Gardens or the Sleep Research Society.

If you find something that works I'd be interested in knowing. I'm the same way I can wake somedays and feel great and others like I haven't slept much at all. It's not a tired like I want to close my eyes again it's more like I just don't have the energy to do some of the things I want. I hate when I wake up feeling like that on a day supposed to be for lifting. Now I've gone from having scheduled days for certain exercise to taking advantage of the days I do feel good. My wife says I snore. I've had a sleep test and was only on the border line for Apnea. Maybe on the down days the Apnea is kicking in more.

As a side note I have had good luck with Creatin as a daily supplement giving me a boost in exercise.

Hard to reply since some observations I have would be labeled as Conspiracy Theories even tho some states are starting to ban certain things.

I turn off my router at night. My Cell Phone is OFF unless in use for my job or travel. I wear a Q-Link pendant which works on Sympathetic Resonance of the Heart vibrations. I have two whole house Q-Link SRT-3s, one on first and the other on second floor.

Oh, and very high THC Indica works too
