1. Place green plants and flowers at the head of the bed
Green plants and flowers are basically things that every household will have, it can decorate the environment, can purify the air, and make the home full of vitality and vitality.
There are many places in the home where you can place plants and flowers, but they are not suitable for the bedroom, especially the bedside.
Because most green plants release oxygen during the day and carbon dioxide at night. When sleeping at night, many people will close the doors and windows, and the air circulation is relatively poor.
If the bedside is planted with greenery and exhales carbon dioxide, it is simply competing with us for oxygen. Because of insufficient oxygen, it is easy to affect the quality of sleep and cause persistent fatigue.
2. Place electronic products at the head of the bed
Many people like to play with their mobile phones and tablets for a while before going to bed, and put electronic devices on the bedside before going to bed. The reason why it is not advisable to put electronics at the head of the bed is not because of the so-called radiation problem.
The amount of radiation emitted by mobile phones is very small and is "non-ionizing radiation" that is harmless to humans. Rather, there are three other hazards.
1. If the mobile phone is placed at the head of the bed, it may be picked up and played in the middle of the night. Playing with a mobile phone in the dark can easily cause problems such as visual fatigue and glaucoma.
2. The screen of electronic products will emit blue light, which will affect our melatonin secretion and affect the quality of sleep.
3. When the mobile phone is charging, there is a possibility of explosion, although it is very small. If you put your phone at the bedside to charge, it will directly cause brain damage in case of explosion, which is very dangerous.
3. Place plush toys at the head of the bed
Many girls have no resistance to plush toys and like to put them directly at the head of the bed when they sleep, creating a warm and safe atmosphere.
However, some plush toys are of poor quality, the lint falls off, the filling inside is not good, and the formaldehyde exceeds the standard. If it is placed at the head of the bed, it is easy to have respiratory problems such as itchy nose and dry cough.
Also, plush toys are not cleaned often, or if they are wet. It is easy to breed bacteria, viruses, and mites. If you contact it for a long time, you will be prone to skin allergies and acne.
Fourth, place a mirror at the head of the bed
The role of the mirror is to reflect, refract, if the mirror is placed at the head of the bed. When I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, I suddenly saw myself in the bedside mirror. In a state of confusion, it is easy to be startled when you see yourself in a cloak. After waking up in fear, it is not easy to fall asleep again, which has a bad impact on the quality of sleep.
Also, the light from the outside may shine on the mirror and then shine on our faces. Strong light, which is harsh in the dark, can also affect the quality of sleep.
5. Place dazzling lamps at the head of the bed
Most bedside lamps have a soft, dim light, mainly to make it easier to use when you wake up in the middle of the night. Because when you get up from a dark environment, if the light is too strong, it is easy to stab your eyes.
Therefore, it is recommended to choose an eye protection lamp at the head of the bed as much as possible, and the angle is towards the foot of the bed and the wall. Try to avoid the lights pointing at the head of the bed to avoid glare.
6. Place an open flame aromatherapy at the head of the bed
Some people will light an open flame incense at the head of the bed to add a sense of ritual. The smell of aromatherapy can indeed make people feel good and also have a sleep-inducing effect.
However, there is a chance that an open flame aromatherapy will burn off the base and thus burn to the tabletop. If you sleep too deeply, you won't be able to get surrounded by fire.
If you like to put aromatherapy in the bedroom, it is recommended to use a flameless aroma, the kind heated by an ambient lamp, so that there are no safety hazards.
