Get a good sleep with this simple tip

The results of a recent survey suggests that people get a good sleep, although guest rooms are clean and comfortable. So before you consider using a sleep aid for those restless nights, you might just want to blow up the empty, changing linens and consider a new mattress.

Survey of bedroom Group questioned sound sleepers and those restless on how the environment in their bedroom had an impact on their ability to have a restful night of sleep. While there has been a lot of work considering how medical and behavior affect sleep, but there was nothing about the environment itself, until now.

Researchers were surprised to find that senses how touch and smell played a role in a night's sleep.

The survey included 1500 randomly chosen adults across the United States who were between 25 and 55 years. Less than half said they were "dormant", who got a great night's sleep most nights. Here are some of the results:

-60% said that they changed the sheets weekly; about 3 out of 4 reported a better sleep when they smell fresh bedding.

-70% made their bed daily or almost everyday. Those who have made their beds were more likely to say that I slept well most of the time to 19%.

-90% said they have a good mattress and pillow were the key to getting a good sleep. Evaluated as a little less important were comfortable blankets and other bedding.

-Up to 3/4 of respondents said that a cold room with fresh air and quiet space clean, dark, it was important for a sleep.

These results are no surprise to experts. It is believed that the environment in which you sleep is vital, but often ignored part of getting a good sleep. While this latest discovery is not going to solve serious sleep problems, it can also help many of us get the rest that we need.

Experts also suggest limiting your bed in two activities: sleep and be intimate with your partner.

Do anything else (watching TV, surfing the internet, reading, paying bills) to read it is very likely to leave your mind races when the job is done and you're lying there trying to fall back to sleep. Instead, make your bedroom a sanctuary.

Rather than thinking of sleep as something that you can turn on and off think of it as a dimmer which must be lowered. In the hour before bedtime to make an effort to do this, lowering the mind and body, so relax and are ready to sleep.

This means ...

-Lower the lights.

-Stay away from your computer, iPad, or smartphone. The blue light from these devices appear to deceive your senses into thinking that day.

-Eating your last meal great no later than three hours before sleep; liquid limit led to bedtime.

-Just before bedtime, a light snack containing proteins and carbohydrates is a useful option if you want to get a good sleep.
