Let’s be real—sleep is so important, but for many of us, it’s hard to come by. I know I used to struggle with getting a good night’s rest, and it wasn’t just because I had a lot on my mind. It was my environment too. Can you relate? According to recent studies, it’s not just me—sleep problems are on the rise in the UK. Did you know that over 7.5 million Brits get less than five hours of sleep each night? Which has a huge impact on our mental and physical health.
I was one of those people who’d wake up feeling tired, groggy, and out of it. But what really changed for me wasn’t just trying to “force” better sleep, but taking a deeper look at my environment. Here’s the thing: our surroundings play a massive role in the quality of our sleep—and it’s something I didn’t realise until I made a few changes.
The Power of Your Environment on Sleep Quality:
Did you know that factors like lighting, room layout, and even clutter can make a huge difference in how well you sleep? I didn’t either—until I started looking into how Feng Shui could help me improve my rest. I have to admit, I was a bit sceptical at first, but when I gave it a try, the results spoke for themselves.
How Decluttering Changed My Sleep:
One of the biggest changes I made was decluttering under my bed. Sounds simple, right? But trust me, it made a huge difference. I had all sorts of exercise equipment tucked under there—weights, mats, resistance bands, you name it. On top of that, I also had work paperwork and bills shoved underneath, creating a chaotic mess. Every time I got into bed to sleep, I felt overstimulated and full of energy, with my mind racing through to-do lists and tasks. These items hold an active energy that I absorbed subconsciously, and it impacted me more than I realised. It wasn’t until I cleared everything out that I truly understood just how much of an effect it was having on me.
Since then, my sleep has been so much better. I no longer lie awake, overwhelmed by the clutter and mental clutter of bills and work, feeling overstimulated by the chaos under my bed. My room feels more peaceful and balanced, and I find it so much easier to drift off at night. It’s like a weight has been lifted (and not just physically!).
It’s Not Just Me: The Stats Don’t Lie
It’s not just me who’s benefiting from better sleep habits and a Feng Shui-inspired environment. National Sleep Foundation says around 50-70 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders. That lack of quality sleep has a direct impact on everything from mood to immune health. In fact, a 2022 report by NHS Digital found that nearly 40% of kids and teens are having sleep problems, and for young adults, that number jumps to over 64%. That’s a lot of tired, under-rested people. And while improving sleep quality can be complex, your environment plays a huge role in how well you rest.
