The best bedroom color for a good night's sleep

It is said that the color of your room can affect your mood. So which color your bedroom needs to be painted? Let's find out!

First, your bedroom should be calm and restful. But it often becomes a place of so many stuff like iPhone buzzes, laptop clicks, or TV hums. So fill your bedroom with blue color.

Paint it blue.

Blue color promotes feelings of peace and serenity. It can make your room seem to be bigger and more spacious. Shades of blue have also been shown to lower blood pressure. In the 2013 study by Travelodge, people slept longer in a blue bedroom than in bedrooms of other colors.

You can combine different level of blue shades, from light to mid-range shades (to add some warmth to your bedroom) or light gray (to keep your room cool as well)

Facts about sleep that you didn't know

Let's find out some interesting facts that you didn't know about sleep!!!

How to pick a comfortable bed

A comfortable bed is the foundation of a good sleep. The right mattress can make a great difference between a restorative night’s sleep and poor quality sleep. And a bed in bad condition may result in fatigue. Lack of support from a mattress which helps reinforce sleeping posture and can prevent you from getting a good night sleep.

If you sleep better in a hotel or other bed, or you are waking up with aches and pains, then, it may be time to change your bed.

With the massive variety of beds on the market, picking the right one can be a difficult task.

So when you are looking for a new mattress or bed, consider the following factors:

• Put value and quality over price. It's obvious that there are some perfectly acceptable, lower priced beds available. However, the better the construction, the better the comfort. 
• The right support and comfort is important. A mattress which is too hard or too soft will be uncomfortable as time goes by. It needs to be firm enough to support your spine in correct alignment. It also needs to conform to your body’s contours. 
• Try before you buy. Lie on each one you are seriously considering for at least 10 to 15 minutes. Try different positions as you may move 40 - 60 times a night to decide whether it's a good fit. If two people will be sleeping on the mattress, both should test it to make sure there is enough space. And that bed is comfortable. 
• Try not to wait 'til your bed has completely deteriorated. Research has shown that sleeping on an uncomfortable bed can rob you of up to an hour’s sleep a night. Deterioration is gradual and almost invisible and your body’s needs also change over time. As a rough guide, you should be thinking about replacing your bed after about seven years. 

Foods to avoid before bedtime

If you're hankering for a bedtime snack or beverage, don’t grab the first thing that sounds good. While some light foods, carby snacks like crackers or an apple can actually be helpful for your sleep, many others may disrupt it or cause nightmares, an irritated tummy, or sleep-interrupting trips to the potty.

Sleep position and personality secret reveal

Which is your favorite way to sleep? Pick one and keep reading to see what it says about you.

Log

Log position, in which the sleeper slumbers on their side, legs extended straight and arms by their sides, is the second most popular position. Though the position looks stiff, a person who sleeps like this is anything but rigid. Log sleepers are very social and easygoing people. Although they like conversing with all kinds of people, they definitely prefer running with an A-list crowd. They are also very trusting, which can sometimes make them seem a little gullible.

Yearner

The yearner position looks a lot like the log. The sleeper snoozes on their sides but their arms are stretched out in front of them, kind of like a mummy. Studies say that people who choose this position are usually very inviting and open. Yet, they can be suspicious and are often very cynical. Yearners are also as slow as turtles when it comes to making decisions, but once their minds are set, they’re as stubborn as a mule about changing it.

Soldier

Attention! A person that sleeps in soldier position is one that sleeps on their back with their arms straight down at their side. Solider sleepers also live up to their name, tending to be strong, silent types who don’t like a big fuss. They are very structured and take themselves, and those around them, very seriously. This also means that they have high expectations for themselves and others around them. They have a tendency to snore as well.

Freefaller

A freefaller sleeper dozes on their stomachs, head to the side, with their arms wrapped around a pillow. As the name suggests, freefaller sleepers have open, gregarious, and playful personalities. Yet they can be so to-the-point that it comes off as brash. They may seem free spirited most of the time, but freefaller sleepers are also secretly anxious and crave control. Although they tend to be risk takers, they’re surprisingly sensitive to criticism as well.

Starfish

The starfish position is the least popular slumbering style. Starfish sleepers lie on their backs with their legs stretched out, and their arms stretched up by their head, looking a bit like a cactus. People who snooze in this unconventional style are very loyal pals and make friendship a huge priority in their lives. They love hearing the problems of others and will go out their way to help when they can. Makes sense, since it the position makes them look like they reaching their arms out for a hug.

Fetal

The fetal position, in which a person sleeps on their side with their legs curled up, is one of the most popular. In fact, according to a survey performed by sleep specialist Chris Idzikowski, PhD and author of the book Learn to Sleep Well, 41 percent of people sleep this way. If you fancy the fetal position while you catch your Z’s, you may seem to have a tough exterior, but are very shy and sensitive on the inside. They can also overthink a problem and worry unnecessarily.
