With the pandemic forcing many of us to work and study from home, our bedrooms have become multi-functional spaces, doubling as home offices, dining rooms, and classrooms. However, this shift can have negative consequences for our sleep. Our bedrooms should be sanctuaries for rest, but when we use them for other activities, our brains associate them with work and stress, making it harder to switch off at bedtime. Eating and studying in bed can also interfere with sleep quality. To promote better sleep, prioritise creating a calm, comfortable environment in your bedroom, and avoid using it for non-sleep-related activities.
