I can tell you from experience, a good mattress will make a dramatic difference in your quality of rest and sleep. Much like many people I procrastinated and delayed buying a new mattress  for many months.
Mattress manufacturers and retailers have dozens of names for different types of mattresses, which makes it all very daunting when is time to buy a new mattress. Which resulted in many restless nights, convincing me I needed to buy a new mattress if I was going to get my beauty sleep back.
Bottom line buy the mattress that allows you to sink into a deep, natural sleep and wake up in the morning without aches and pains. There’s only one way to find out which mattress that is. Trust yourself, you’ll know when the mattress you’re lying on is something you can see yourself resting on all night.

6. Clean Sheets

Clean Sheets

There is no better feeling than  clean sheets in your bed. The smell is infectious and the feeling of sliding in clean and crisp bed sheets is unequivocal. It’s hygienic and according to a study it improves your sleep quality.

Keep your room cool if you want to fall asleep faster. Scientific research has found that your body temperature is important when you are trying to fall asleep, as your body temperature naturally drops when you start to nod off. When your body cools down at night it will stimulate an increase in the growth hormones while simultaneously decreasing your levels of cortisol, which will result in “healthy sleep patterns.”

8. Invest in curtains

With modern style of living lights are on even at night, streetlights, deli lights, signs, your neighbour’s backyard lights, etc. It might pay to invest in a pair of blackout curtains.
That’s right. Dark. Your body needs it too. Being exposed to regular patterns of light and dark regulates our circadian rhythm. Disruption of this rhythm may increase the risk of developing some health conditions including obesity, diabetes and breast cancer.
Keeping your bedroom neat,  smelling pleasant and ready for sleep will lead to better quality of sleep.
