A list of common things in the bedroom has been named that significantly worsen the quality of sleep and undermine health.
Because of them, some people suffer from insomnia. Some blame stress, but the problem may actually be in ordinary objects.
Gadgets
Having a phone nearby increases the temptation to scroll through your news feed, watch a couple of short videos, write comments, and get information overload before bed.
Light from the display of a smartphone, tablet or laptop disrupts the production of melatonin, which helps you fall asleep.
As a result, a person cannot fall asleep for a long time and sleep time is reduced to 5-6 hours a day, which is harmful to health.
Training Accessories
Exercise machines, dumbbells, yoga mats, resistance bands and other sports equipment should not be kept in the bedroom for a number of reasons. Firstly, these items are a breeding ground for bacteria. Secondly, a missed workout and lack of sports results when looking at the exercise machine will cause a feeling of disappointment, and this is stress before bed.
Working accessories
It is believed that work should not be done in the bedroom because it blurs the boundaries between personal space and professional duties. It is not even recommended to answer work-related emails.
Therefore, it is better to organize the workspace in another room, and the bedroom should be a place of rest and distraction from everyday worries.
Dirty clothes
These things create clutter in the room, destroy the feeling of coziness and can become an additional source of bacteria.
Old mattress
The average lifespan of a mattress is 8-10 years. But in practice, many people use this element of the bed for decades. As a result, back problems appear. In addition, the mattress accumulates dust, which cannot be completely removed even with thorough cleaning.
