Creating a relaxing bedroom environment is one of the best ways to ensure a good night’s sleep. So whether it’s lavender oil on your pillow, comfy blankets or soft colours, it’s a good idea to make your bedroom a sensual and tranquil area.
However, many of us are ignoring one thing which could be spoiling our relaxed bedroom environment – electrical equipment. Whether you have a television, computer or simply an electric alarm clock in your bedroom, they may be giving off signals that could be disruptive to natural sleep patterns.
This is because electrical appliances create EMFs – electromagnetic fields – which may be harmful to health and have been linked to everything from cancer to depression. And because we spend a large chunk of our time in bed and it’s a place where we should be able to fully relax, it may make sense to try and reduce the number of EMFs in your bedroom.
Here are some things to try:
Replace Old Appliances
It’s thought that older appliances emit more EMFs than new ones so make sure yours are up-to-date.
Keep Your Distance
Make sure all electrical devices are at least 6 feet from where you sleep. In particular, don’t place electrical equipment close to your head.
Avoid Unnecessary Gadgets
Swap electric blankets for hot water bottles and keep computer equipment out of the bedroom.
Remember to Switch Off
Unplug devices when not in use.
Move the Charger
Keep telephone, razor, and toothbrush chargers in other rooms.
