Sleep Hygiene 101: Bedding and Lifestyle Changes for Better Rest
Your Guide to a Healthier Room
Since the beginning of time, kids all over the world have been sent away to "go clean your room!" A dreaded chore at first, but slowly, as you build your room, you begin to understand the importance of bedding hygiene.
A clean, restful bedroom is the foundation of a good night's sleep and a healthier lifestyle. The choices we make in our bedding, bedroom organization, and daily routines can have a profound impact on both our physical and mental well-being. Let us guide you through how to explore adopting cleaner habits in your sleep environment—through sustainable bedding, proper maintenance, and mindful practices—can enhance your sleep hygiene and overall health. By making small yet significant changes, you can transform your bedroom into a sanctuary of cleanliness, comfort, and tranquility!
1. Organize Yourself Into Happiness
First up, you want to immediately tackle the clutter. Opening up space in your room can easily make it feel cleaner already, clearing up the floor and any tables in your room even before you reach the bed.
Stylish Storage Solutions: Aesthetic is everything, even when it comes to cleaning and tidying up. But you can make it more fun with some cute and stylish baskets and bags.
Attack the Surfaces: Counters, tables, and desks should all be wiped down and reorganized. Throw out items you do not need anymore to open up more space for natural light and maybe some cute new additions to your shelves and makeup corner.
Make Organizing Your New BFF: Invest in some long-term storage pieces. Picture an ottoman or a beautiful storage bench at the end of your bed that doubles as the perfect sitting spot to read or relax.
By staying organized, you’ll open up the space and can start with new changes to your resting place.

2. Choosing Sustainable Bedding
Let’s talk bedding. Like always, the bed is the most important part of the bedroom. As we transition to the slightly warmer months, choosing a light and airy bedding set will add to the new clean aesthetic you are trying to reach. To feel fresh and airy, find a color scheme that screams spring and clean. Remember, you can never go wrong with some pastels...
Organic cotton, linen, and bamboo are not just trendy—they’re your ticket to a cleaner, greener sleep. Plus, finding high-quality bedding that’s as kind to the environment as it is to your beauty sleep is the key to a clean and comfortable bedroom.

3. Breathe Easy: How Clean Air Equals Better Sleep
Long gone is the time for keeping the curtains shut and the windows locked down for a comfy and cozy winter night in. Spring is the best time of the year for some deep cleaning. Your air quality can make or break your sleep. Poor air can cause stuffiness, allergies, and restless nights. Opening windows to keep the air in your bedroom fresh and clean is key to getting quality rest. Place an air purifier in your bedroom to filter out dust and allergens. Or, try a few potted plants like a snake plant or a peace lily that naturally purify the air. Add a touch of lavender or eucalyptus essential oils to your pillowcase for a calming, sleep-inducing scent.

4. Wind Down and Sleep Like a Pro
While you should take all of our advice on how to clean up your room, from your shelves to your bed, you should know one of our main pieces of advice is that while the key to a cleaner sleep environment isn’t just about your sheets or your room—it’s about your mindset. Mindfulness and wellness practices, like deep breathing, aromatherapy, or a little meditation, can help you clear your mind before bed. After all, a peaceful mind equals a peaceful sleep.
From simply doing a little breathing exercise before bed to going a step further and pairing it with a lavender-scented pillow spray and soft music can create the perfect and calming pre-sleep ritual. Your mind and body will thank you for the relaxation, and your sleep will follow suit.
