If you’re having trouble getting a good night’s sleep, the following sleep aids, tools, and accessories will help you create the perfect nighttime environment. A good night’s sleep is essential to leading a healthy, productive, and happy life.
Dehumidifiers
Air quality is essential for a good night’s sleep, and a dehumidifier can help with this by improving the air quality, allowing for easier breathing and improved relaxation, as well as reducing allergens from the air. To ensure the best results, close all windows and doors so your dehumidifier can work efficiently and effectively. Homesense is located less than a 10-minute drive away from our 41 Cowie Hill Road apartments, and has all the tools you will need for a great night’s sleep.
Blackout Window Treatment
Invest in a solid night’s sleep by purchasing thicker and more opaque textiles to hang behind your blinds or shades. The presence of light- even a little can alter your natural sleeping patterns, and leave you tired and restless. Blackout window treatments can be particularly effective for people who work during the nighttime and need to rest during the day. For a variety of blackout window treatment options, check out Canadian Tire, located less than a five-minute drive away from our 634 Parkland Drive apartments.
Melatonin
Melatonin is a natural hormone produced by your brain that helps to control your sleep and wake cycles. While it is found naturally in a number of food sources such as fruits, vegetables, grains, meat, and fish, you can also pick up Melatonin supplements at your local grocery and pharmacy. There is no need to take heavy-duty sleeping pills when a little (natural) melatonin is all you need for a good night’s rest.
White Noise Machines
White noise machines are a popular way of dealing with a restless night. They are particularly effective for people who are kept awake by loud or repetitive sounds during the night. Most people find the sound of white noise relaxing or helpful when falling asleep. These machines typically also come with other soothing sounds programmed, such as waterfalls, oceans, wind, and more. If you are a light sleeper who is easily kept awake, the white noise machine might be your best bet.
