When I first told my parents I'd got the gig as H&G's resident sleep writer, they were shocked: I'd always been such a bad sleeper as a kid. I used to lie awake for hours, especially in the summer, incapable of cooling down or calming down for sleep.
More than anything, my parents wanted me to fall asleep faster, but they didn't want to spend all their time and money replacing my bedding or buying a new mattress. Instead, they made a series of quick and easy adjustments to my bed and bedroom to create a cooler, calmer, quieter sleep environment. Spoiler alert: it worked, and I'm sharing their wisdom with you today.
