At the end of a busy day, you just want to snuggle into bed for a solid night of peaceful sleep. If you are having a hard time falling asleep, never feel comfortable in bed, or wake up groggy, it may be time to give the bedroom of your Flagstaff apartment a mini-makeover.Choose a color scheme
Color impacts mood, so opt for a bedroom color scheme that has a spa-like peaceful feel. Linens, accent pillows, and wall décor are all easy places to pop in calming hues. Lilac, ice blue, mint green, and soft yellows are peaceful shades that promote sleep while navy feels cozy and welcoming. Avoid dark purples and reds, which can add to stress.
Clean up clutter
In order to fall asleep, your mind needs to relax. Clutter adds to mental strain and makes it difficult to feel peaceful. Clear off nightstands, put away clothing, and ban clutter from the bedroom.
Use high-quality sheets
No one sleeps well on scratchy sheets. Considering that between seven and nine hours a day are spent in bed, it makes sense to buy the best sheets and pillows you can afford. For high-quality sheets that won’t break the bank, look for 100% cotton options between 300 and 500 thread count.
Add a little white noise
The idea of adding noise into a peaceful place seems counterintuitive. However, the mind often has a hard time turning off when the environment is too quiet. A white noise machine, fan, or playing nature sounds, can help you drift off into slumber.
Make the bed
A good night’s sleep starts in the morning. Spend a few minutes making the bed and your nighttime routine will feel more relaxing and peaceful. Crisply pulled back sheets are much nicer to crawl under and your bed will welcome you to rest.
It’s always easier to sleep in an apartment you love! To check out our Flagstaff apartments with beautifully designed master bedrooms, give us a call today.

The ways in which you de-stress may not be the same as how others do, but the good news is that everyone can de-stress without leaving their Flagstaff apartments. Here are just a few suggestions to get you started on your journey toward relaxation.
1. Clear Out Your Clutter
The more objects around you, the more overwhelmed you'll feel. This is bad news for people who love their tchotchkes, but good news if you're looking for an easy way to start lowering your blood pressure. As difficult as it can be to let go of certain objects (or at the very least to store them in a closet), you can't really start to de-stress until you can move around without running into something.
2. Turn Your Bathroom Into a Spa
It really only takes a couple of candles, some dish soap, and a classical station on your iPhone to turn your bathroom into a spa. The idea is not necessarily to use the fanciest products but to take the time to set things up. When we're stressed, we forget to show ourselves the care and attention we deserve. Slow yourself down and make time, so you don't waste time on anxiety.
3. Get Rid of Your Electronics
No, you don't have to throw them in the trash, but you really should turn them off and put them away. Our devices keep us connected, but they can just as quickly leave us feeling overwhelmed by everything from the news to the latest post on social media. There's no problem checking your page if you're feeling cool and collected, but leave it be if you're already feeling stressed.
