The Cool, Dark, Quiet Room: Setting the stage for effortless nights

June Alderwood

Sleep rarely fails because of the mind alone. Often the room itself is working against you: too warm, too bright, too full of small noises that keep the body half alert. This is a walk through the space where you sleep, room by room and sense by sense, covering the exact temperature range that invites deeper rest, the light levels that signal safety to the brain, and simple fixes for sound. Calm, specific, and easy to put to use tonight.
