If, like me, you're constantly chasing (but not quite catching) the perfect restful night’s sleep, you’ve probably made at least a few changes to your bedroom design. A comfortable mattress and pillows, soft bedsheets, walls painted a calming color, and low-level lighting are all essential - and if you really went to town, you’ve soundproofed the space as much as possible, too. I admit I'm guilty of literally every item on this list, and I've still not mastered the ultimate sleep sanctuary yet. The trick, say experts, could be down to LED lighting.
I had no clue that a detail so seemingly small as LED color could have such a big impact, but sleep experts all agree that there's one particular light color that helps you sleep better, as well as one that does the exact opposite. I thought banning overhead lights and only using side lamps was enough to cross ‘good lighting’ off the list, but what I had wrong all along was the color of my bulbs. I've followed the expert advice and I can honestly say it's really made a difference. Here’s what they recommend for the best night's rest.
