Create a bedroom that will give you the perfect night's sleep 

Restorative rest can be elusive but your environment plays a part, says insomnia and sleep expert, Anne Marie Boyhan

Anne Marie Boyhan practices what she preaches in her own bedroom with a mix of calming Deep Sea green paint from Valspar behind her bed, and the other walls finished in French Grey by Little Greene Paint Company.

To counteract that feeling when you get into bed wired, fretting about all the things you didn’t get done during the day and what’s facing you tomorrow, here are some words of wisdom from Roald Dahl: “As the night gets dark, let your worries fade. Sleep peacefully knowing you’ve done all you can do for today.”

I found this reassuring quote in The Sleep Journal by Anne Marie Boyhan, a guide to creating an evening routine to promote quality and restorative sleep.
