THE CHALLENGE
Take control of the light, temperature, comfort and sound in your sleep environment.
- 1. Black out your room - Draw the blinds, cover computer and alarm lights, consider eyeshade.
2. Keep it quiet - Shut off noises from the TV, computer, or clocks, pick up some ear plugs if necessary.
3. Cool Down - Forget the doona and wear breathable pj’s this week (or none at all!)

I'm a shift worker who often has to sleep during the day, so believe me, I already have all these points covered!

My sleep sanctuary is perfect; dark, warm and comfortable. My problem is my partners snoring and rolling throughout the night.

I will draw the curtains tonight as I think the street light outside could be the cause of making my room lighter during the night. I don't keep iPad or phone in the bedroom at all and I already cover up the digital clock.

Light is good, sound is good, my challenge will be to not sleep under my doona this week! I always feel cold when I first get into bed and I love the feeling of the heavy doona on me, but I often have very vivid and stressful dreams. Will get rid of the doona and see how we go!

Last year I created my Sleep Sanctuary, block out blinds, new bed linen, painted my room a beautiful peaceful colour. Couldn't afford a new bed but did get new pillows. still not sleeping but I will give week 3 a go and see what happens.
