DESIGNING A BEDROOM
THAT MAKES YOU GO ZZZ… In Spain, the percentage of people who sleep poorly (58 per cent) beats that of those who enjoy good quality sleep (43 per cent) and the average person sleeps less than the recommended seven-to-nine hours per night. Poor sleep increases the risk of serious medical conditions – including obesity, coronary heart disease, and diabetes and it shortens one’s lifespan. If you want to improve your sleep hygiene, follow a strict nighttime routine, avoid the use of screens in the evening, and stop consuming caffeine soon after lunch. Investing in good bedroom design is also important. WORDS BY MARISA CUTILLAS 176 / APRIL 2022 ESSENTIAL MAGAZINE
