Aromatic substances
Aromatherapy is believed to be relaxing,calms and, as a result, helps to fall asleep, however, not all pleasantly smelling substances have a soporific effect. For example, jasmine irritates the nervous system, which deprives you of sleep, grapefruit makes your night's restlessness restless, and lemon invigorates and is therefore recommended only in the morning. Fans of aromatic sessions before bed should turn to the smells of lavender, vanilla, linden, lemon balm and mint: according to experts, aromas have an exceptionally beneficial effect on those falling asleep. Moreover, fragrant geranium flowers will relieve nightmares even for the smallest night owls.

Thin curtains
It would seem that the obvious reason is the light shining inwindow lantern, making immersion in the night darkness in the bedroom impossible, is not as simple as it seems at first glance. It is the thin curtains that let in outside light that become the worst enemy of sleep, because the production of the hormone melatonin, responsible for sleep, directly depends on the level of illumination of the room. So the thicker the curtains, the better the sleep.
Bright screens of gadgets, computers, televisions
When getting ready for bed, it's best to turn off electronics.or replace watching TV with listening to good music. Yes, the temptation to fall asleep in front of the TV is great, but no one can guarantee a good night's sleep in this case. A bright smartphone screen is no exception. However, newfangled phones conceal another danger. We all love gadgets for the opportunity to read the news, but, you must admit, the information does not always contain a positive message. It is better to put your smartphone aside; important news will definitely not escape you until the morning, which cannot be said about sleep.

Bed sheets
Remember the tale of The Princess and the Pea?If a small pea under countless feather beds can ruin your sleep, what can we say about uncomfortable bed linen? For example, duvet covers should never be made of polyester - this material does not breathe, which is fraught with overheating during sleep. The color of sheets and pillowcases is a matter of debate between representatives of various spiritual practices, psychologists and somnologists. However, in our opinion, you should be guided by your tastes: you are unlikely to enjoy sleeping on red linen if you like cold colors, and vice versa.
Uncomfortable pajamas
Sleep is not a reason to show off.Pajamas should never be haute couture, beauty plays the last role here. Whether it is a shirt from a fashion store or an old T-shirt of the husband – the outfit for sleeping should first of all be comfortable, so that no extra strap will interfere with the night's rest. In the end, remember the words of all grandmothers: "You are not going to a ball."

Heater
We have already mentioned the harm of overheating for sleepers,Now let's talk about this in more detail. All experts are convinced: the temperature in the bedroom should not exceed 24 degrees Celsius. Even those who love warmth and comfort will sleep better in the cool, so instead of putting a heater in the bedroom, it is better to cover yourself with an extra blanket and open the window. During the night, the body will be saturated with oxygen and will say a cheerful thank you the next morning.
The ticking clock
In everyday life, few people notice the ticking of a clocknotices, so we can’t always understand where this annoying sound is coming from, preventing us from falling asleep. Moreover, the ticking can haunt us even in rooms without a huge grandfather clock: look at your hand. During the working day, we get so used to this accessory that we forget about it, but the intermittent sound will make us forget about sleep. Interestingly, not all sources of noise are prohibited. For example, a gust of wind imitated by a fan, according to experts, only strengthens our sleep.
Pets
We love our four-legged friends so much thatWe even take them to bed with us. You can play with your cat between countless attempts to fall asleep, without even suspecting that it is she who is the cause of insomnia. By settling down on the bed somehow, so as not to disturb the rest of your pet, we sacrifice our sleep. Moreover, if you believe in Feng Shui, even an aquarium with fish in the bedroom harms energy.
Paintings
Do you hang pictures or posters on your walls?Avoid the area above the headboard. Recently, all sorts of art installations have become a fashionable design solution, but esoteric traditions say: no images above the head of the sleeping person. Of the decorative items, only the Indian Dreamcatcher talisman is allowed, in whose web nightmares get entangled.
Photo
We feel good when our loved ones are nearby, that's why weWe try to keep their photos with us at all times. They lift our spirits and help us survive separation, but they deprive us of sleep. Yes, if you believe in the same Feng Shui, family photos are one of the causes of insomnia.
Bookshelves
Reading before bed is a healthy habit, especiallyfor those who can't find time for a page or two during the day. But don't turn your bedroom into a library. Even if you're not into Eastern practices, think about it: books, despite all their positive features, are typical dust collectors, so it's better not to store all your volumes of Pushkin or Dontsova in the nighttime rest area.

Vine Plants
If geranium's aroma helps you sleep better,then vines, on the contrary, interfere with your dreams. No matter how beautiful and fashionable it is, a green wall takes away your positive energy, which, according to Feng Shui, leads to insomnia.
Money
Money is considered to be the dirtiest objectin our everyday life. And for good reason: who knows how many people held these 50 rubles in their hands before you. But it's not just about bacteria, imagine how many other people's negative emotions are embedded in the bills. It's clear that you can't live without cash in your life, but it's better not to keep money in the bedroom. Move your piggy bank or safe to your office - and you'll sleep better.
Mirror
In all spiritual practices it is categoricalIt is forbidden to keep a mirror near the bed. According to Feng Shui, a mirror reflects a person's negative energy, which comes out during sleep, back onto the sleeping person. And in the Russian tradition, it is believed that a mirror is a passage to another world, and in a dream, a person is more helpless than ever before the evil spirits lurking behind the looking glass. Even psychologists say that an accidental reflection seen in a half-sleep, thanks to the imagination, can seem like a terrible monster, after meeting with which a night's rest will be impossible. It is considered especially dangerous to keep a mirror in children's bedrooms - the most vulnerable in psychological and esoteric senses.
Walls and ceilings
These are, of course, not objects or things, but color.walls and ceiling affects our mood, well-being and sleep. Psychologists, esotericists and therapists unanimously say: the color of the wallpaper in the rest room should be cold. It is best to use blue or green shades. Feng Shui representatives also recommend choosing one color for the walls and ceiling. Maybe the secret to sound sleep is in a monochromatic bedroom?
