Have you ever cleaned your bedroom and felt more at peace? Everyone loves the feeling of getting into bed with freshly changed sheets. Turns out, there's a real reason for this! Having a clean bedroom can work wonders for your mental wellbeing. Find out how, and stick around until the end for a free bedroom cleaning checklist.

Here's 6 ways a clean bedroom can improve your health! 🌙

1. Improved sleep quality

Studies have shown that having a clean, tidy environment promotes better sleep. There's a reason you might think of a clean and quiet garden when your mind hears the word "zen"! A cluttered room increases stress levels and creates chaos in the mind. As the stress hormone cortisol rises, your sleep pattern suffers. This can make it harder to fall asleep, and stay asleep through the night. Having a clean bedroom can help you rest soundly and improve sleep quality.

2. Lower risk of allergies

Do you often wake up sneezing with a runny nose? Dust mites, pet fur, and other allergens love dusty surfaces and linens in the bedroom. You can help prevent the morning sniffles by:

• Changing your sheets once a week

• Dusting every other week

• Vacuuming carpets every week

• Dusting and wet mopping hard flooring every week

If you're especially prone to seasonal allergies, you may benefit from cleaning more frequently.

3. Mental health benefits

Having a room that allows you to relax helps keep anxiety levels low. This can help with mental clarity as well as promote positive emotional well-being. It's important to have a space you can "escape" to. For most people, this is the bedroom. By having your bedroom clean and clutter-free, you'll always have a relaxing getaway when things get overwhelming.

4. Increased productivity

When you get better sleep, you're more likely to be productive throughout the day. Having minimal distractions keeps you on task.  When you have 4 unfinished water bottles on your nightstand, and a pile of clothes on the bed, your focus goes there. If you often read or study in your bedroom, having a clean space can improve the amount of time you're able to focus and retain information.

5. Enhanced creativity

Keeping an organized room creates a better environment for creativity. Things like writing music or even journalling will come more naturally in a clean space. If your goal this year is to pursue your hobbies, keeping a clean room could be your first unexpected step!

6. Creates healthy habits

Making it part of your daily ritual to clean up after yourself will not only benefit your bedroom. The act of keeping your space clean will spill over into your entire home! By taking responsibility for one space, your mind and body awareness improves. If you choose to set a goal to go to the gym in a few months, your chances of following through will increase! Creating good habits is a skill that starts small, but you'll see the benefits in many areas of your life.

When you prioritize a clean bedroom, you'll see the results immediately. Don't underestimate how much a relaxing environment can improve your daily life! By making your bedroom a sanctuary, you're committing to self-care. Take this small step toward better sleep and a healthier mind.
