You Don’t Have a Sleep Problem. You Have a Room Problem.
Your brain wants to rest, but your room won’t let it.
From our last post in this series, we picked up some tips to get our brain into the habit of powering down and getting ready for bed. Now, imagine this: you’re doing all that work only to walk into a space that’s… well… chaos.
Laptop still glowing. Unfolded laundry on the chair. The room’s either too hot, too cold, or smells faintly like last week’s socks. And you wonder why your brain doesn’t want to power down.

Your environment cues your behaviour—not your intentions.
If your room is full of “daytime energy,” your brain will stay in go-mode. If it feels calm, safe, and low-stimulus? That’s your green light for quality rest.
