I've Started Doing a Nightly 'Turndown' Just Like a Hotel Bedroom When the Sun Goes Down — Here's Why It's Good for Atmosphere and Better Sleep

A white bedroom with an ochre bedscape, a striped bolster pillow, a wood side table with a tall table lamp, a vase of stems, and a textured wall hanging.

When you're on holiday, little compares to the feeling of returning to your hotel after a long day of exploring, only to be greeted by a bed with the duvet untucked, the scent of lavender, the lights dimmed, and a tiny mint chocolate on your pillow.

And so it got me thinking: why should I only experience this form of sleep luxury on vacation? And now that I've incorporated it into my wind-down routine, I can't imagine going to bed without creating an ambiance for rest first.
