7 Detoxify your environment
Nowadays, the indoor environment often is much more polluted than the
outdoor. If your bedroom has a synthetic carpet, fake leather fabrics,
paint, a mattress with a flame-retardant cover, or scented candles, you
are more likely to have poor overnight bodily recuperation or experience
sleep problems. Insomnia related to toxin exposure is genetically
dependent. Very often, of all family members, only one will experience its
severe effects. Females are generally more likely to experience a greater
response to toxin exposure. Sleeping in a toxin-free bedroom is essential
for everyone’s proper bodily recuperation, as, during the night, our bodies
go through a lot of detoxification and regenerating processes. Make sure
to remove all synthetic materials and any artificial smells from the
bedroom. Choose the right mattress and organic cotton bedding. Keep
your home free of mold, as it affects the central nervous system (CNS),
keeping your body in a constant “fight or flight mode.” Books, plants,
paper walls, carpets, and AC are favorite places for mold to grow. You
can also clean the air in your bedroom before sleep with air purifiers. The
greatest quality air purifiers are Air Doctor and Austin Air.
8 Choose a non-toxic mattress
People spend about 1/3 of their life in bed. When you think about this
number, investing in a good sleep environment becomes non-negotiable.
Two factors to keep in mind when choosing the right sleeping place. First,
you want to avoid metal, whether it is springs inside your mattress or a
bed frame. It attracts more Electro Magnetic Field (EMF). Secondly, you
want to be surrounded by 100% certified organic materials. Getting
exposed to massive amounts of chemicals all night long for years is a
recipe for disaster. Since the mid to late 60s, most mattresses have been
made of polyurethane foam, a petroleum-based material that emits
volatile organic compounds (VOC) that can cause respiratory problems
and skin irritation.
