Clean Sheets and More

The relieving feeling of crawling into smooth, clean sheets at the end of a long day is unbeatable. Your hectic day is over and it’s time to rest in a relaxing environment. But, the process of getting a room to that tranquil point feels like a tedious process. Washing sheets once a week is the recommended timeline, but what happens when you don’t wash your sheets often? 

Washing your sheets and making your bed once a week once a week may seem excessive, but it is well worth it. Just after a few days, bed sheets and pillowcases can accumulate significant amounts of dirt including dust mites, dead skin cells, body oils and sweat. The procrastination of washing sheets can cause skin rashes, acne, oily hair, styes and even the common cold. Sitting and sleeping in your own built up oils and dirt is preventable by simply consistently washing your sheets! Honestly, now that we’re on the topic, it’s quite gross thinking about how little some people wash their sheets. 

Inviting calm, invoking products into a bedroom space is equally as important as cleaning your sheets. Ensuring that the surrounding space in your bedroom eliminates stressful thoughts related to work is vital. Make sure your space includes personal items that bring you peace and joy. To embody a relaxing environment, begin by cleaning your sheets and consider purchasing the products listed below to elevate your bedroom space.

It may seem silly, but spraying a sleep spray onto your pillow can assist in easing you into your best, deepest sleep. Pillow mists and sprays are often proven to work because they create sleep inducing aromas, causing our bodies to produce melatonin. The relaxing environment can be created by This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray ($29), Ren’s & Now To Sleep Pillow Spray ($29) or Neom’s Perfect Night’s Sleep Mist ($22). Less expensive but still ultra calming sleep sprays include Dr. Teal’s Sleep Spray ($6) and Sunday Rain’s Sleep Easy Pillow & Room Mist ($8).

Lighting in a bedroom can make or break your calming environment. Many people enjoy inviting calm, colored lighting in using this Amazon sky lite or this Home Depot Circular LED light. 

With the efforts of washing your sheets and inviting calming and comfort inducing products into your space, it’s obvious that you will embrace your sleep space bringing on a healthier lifestyle.
