Bedrooms are private sanctuaries for retreating from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, so it’s common for many people to prefer to keep their bedroom door shut all night. However, have you considered that you might fall asleep faster and easier, and boost your chances of sleeping through the night, simply by keeping your bedroom door open instead? 

While choosing the best mattress for your body, or cutting down on caffeine and other stimulants, can boost your chances of sleeping through the night, there's a much simpler hack to try. Rebecca Swain, a mattress advisor at Winston Beds, has revealed that keeping your bedroom door open at night can also help you fall asleep easier and faster.
