Not Sleeping? 9 Ways It Could Be Your Bedroom's Fault

In addition to being an eyesore, bedroom clutter might just cost you a good night's sleep, according to Dr. Brown. "Clutter says chaos rather than order and calm and represents tasks undone that can create a negative tone just by encountering it," he says. He suggests thinking of your bedroom as a sleep sanctuary, ensuring that it is serene, relaxing and pleasing. "If possible, avoid storing things underneath the bed, as this is still a distraction, and keep your bedside table uncluttered as well," he says.
