What is green sleep? Experts explain this better sleep trend

Green sleep: A bed outside in green forest area

If you're struggling to get to sleep, a new study suggests that your location could be to blame. Inner-city sleepers are likely to experience loud noises, light pollution, and poor air quality. Green sleep is a concept that addresses these issues by suggesting you can get better sleep in a more natural environment, like the countryside. 

As a city dweller, I could see how this study gained so much traction. It's rare for my apartment to feel peaceful, and the sound of trains nearby is something I've had to acclimatize to. I generally have no problem getting to sleep. As being H&G's sleep editor, that's no surprise; after all, I sleep on one of the best mattresses on the market. But I can say that I've rarely woken up feeling fresh.
