"When you sleep in winter, don't put these 5 things at the head of the bed, it's not superstition, it's too late to suffer"
The winter nights are cold and windy, and people are eager to find a little warmth in the bed. However, did you know that placing something at the head of your bed can affect the quality of your sleep and even your health. This is not superstition, but is based on actual experience and science. Next, I'm going to share five items that you should never put at the end of your bed, hoping to give you some inspiration and warning.
1. Mobile phone
Mobile phones are an indispensable tool in our lives, but keeping them at the bedside can be a bad habit. First, the blue light emitted by your phone can interfere with your sleep hormone secretion, making it difficult to fall asleep, and secondly, if you keep your phone near your pillow, radio frequency radiation can also pose a potential threat to your health. I once had a friend who used to play with his phone before going to bed, and as a result, his insomnia problem was getting worse and worse. It wasn't until one day that he listened to the advice and put his phone farther away, which gradually improved the quality of his sleep.
2. Water glasses
You may find it convenient to keep a glass of water at the head of your bed, but it can also be an unexpected hassle. Imagine if you woke up in the middle of the night and accidentally knocked over a water glass, it would be a disaster. To make matters worse, if water seeps into the mattress, it can breed mold and affect your health. I remember one time when I put a glass of water at the head of my bed, I accidentally knocked it over when I turned over in the middle of the night, soaking the whole bed and keeping me awake all night.
3. Pets
Many people like to keep their pet at the head of the bed for more companionship and comfort. But in reality, having a pet at the head of the bed may affect the quality of your sleep. They may constantly move around the bed and even make loud noises that disturb your rest. I have a friend who has a cat and is used to sleeping at the head of the bed. But gradually, he found that his sleep quality was getting worse and worse, and later found out that it was the cat's constant activity in bed.
4. Cosmetics
Many people like to put some cosmetics at the head of the bed, so that they can touch up their makeup or skin care at any time. However, this may pose some health risks. First of all, the chemical ingredients in cosmetics may volatilize into the air, and if you inhale it for a long time, it may cause effects on your body. Secondly, if you accidentally knock over the makeup, it may cause skin allergies or other adverse reactions. I once heard of a girl who put makeup at the head of her bed every night, and as a result, her skin became more and more sensitive, only to realize later that it might be because of makeup.
5. Wallets
Some people have a habit of keeping their wallets at the head of their bed in case they are lost or can be used at any time. However, this can also have some bad effects. First of all, coins and bills in your wallet can scratch your skin, causing discomfort or allergies. Secondly, if you also keep important items such as ID cards and bank cards in your wallet, once lost or stolen, it may bring you trouble and losses. I once heard of a friend who put his wallet at the head of the bed and accidentally fell under the bed, and it took a lot of effort to find it, only to realize later that he should not put his wallet at the head of the bed.
Winter nights make people crave warmth and tranquility, however, we sometimes break this tranquility with some casual little habits. Hopefully, through this article, you will be aware of some of the factors that may affect your sleep quality and health, and you will be able to change these bad habits so that you can enjoy true comfort and tranquility on cold winter nights.
