#149 - Creating a Bedroom Sanctuary: Here May Ye Rest A While

Sleep Unplugged with Dr. Chris Winter

There is nothing more pleasing to the soul than wandering into a space that makes you feel protected, present, and at peace. Many elements involved in the creation of a comfortable bedroom sanctuary have been covered on the podcast. Now, we work to synthesize them all into your Zen den masterpiece. In this episode we will:

• Think about how room color choices affect relaxation and sleep
• Design the lighting that will best support our sanctuary's mission
• Consider how decorations can work to sooth or distract from the goal of rest
• Evaluate the role of air filters in our room design
• Look at materials on the floors and walls in terms of sound dampening
• Define 'biophilic design' and explore how it will shape the direction of the room
• Embrace organic and natural bedding materials instead of synthetics
• Remove clutter from the space and thoughtfully consider the pros and cons of electronics
• Create a "travel version" of our room choices when possible
