Keeping your technology out of your bedroom may sound like crazy advice. The question is, does your bedroom feel calm and relaxing? If you have an office, is it easy for you to work or is it filled with distractions?

To sleep better while also being more productive when you’re working, the secret is to match the room you’re in with the type of energy best suited to the room. For example, your bedroom should be a place to feel happy, calm, and relaxed. If you work on your mobile device, computer, pay bills, or do other types of work in this area, you’re now bringing in a work energy into an area that is meant for rest and relaxation.

By the same token, if your work area is cluttered with family pictures and items that distract you from working, put them elsewhere. The bottom line is to keep your relaxation and your work areas separate. If you haven’t done this already, try it for two weeks. The results will surprise you!
