EP 6: Is Your Bedroom Making You Sick? 10 Simple Hacks to Create a Healthy Sleep Oasis.

Is your Bedroom making you sick?  We spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping; this space must provide a non-toxic place for rest and restoration.  Find out if you wake up feeling groggy or less than your best due to your bedding.  

10 Simple Steps to start to create that healthy non-toxic bedroom:

1. Swap your pillow for a healthier upgrade.  Organic cotton, wool, and natural latex 
2. Get 100% organic cotton sheets/pillow cases or all cotton but wash them several times in a clean detergent like our abode pods and rinse with vinegar.  
3. Fill your room with house plants. Episode 2 talks about houseplants and how they are so helpful to our indoor air quality.  
4. Wash your sheets weekly with Abode Laundry Pods. 
5. Swap out your mattress for an organic version when your budget allows.  My favorite company is Lifekind.
6. Keep your room cool
7. Use an Essential Oil Diffuser to clean the air and create a calm atmosphere.
8. Remove the TV and screens from your bedroom.
9. Remove the noise.  Use a white noise machine or app that helps remove disruptions. I use the app Noisli.
10. Keep the room cool. Aim for about 65 degrees to get more REM sleep.

Organic Education
