FACT: We spend one-third of our lives in our bedroom and experts say that consistent sleep leads to less anxiety and a longer and healthier life.

Use this snowy month of February to turn your bedroom into a place of relaxation and rejuvination, here's how!

First, look around you.  If your room is going to be your sanctuary then it needs to be a place where you feel good about yourself.  It should be used to dress, sleep and relax.

Remove anything that does not revolve around these three things.  That means no ironing boards, unused exercise equipment, and NO TELEVISION!

I know this is America and we are a high-tech society, but studies have shown negative impacts on marriages and families who have televisions in their bedrooms.

Organize under your beds and eliminate clutter from dressers and night stands.  Remove any items you are not using whether it be old lotions, books or magazines.

Give your room a thorough cleaning.  Remove all dust bunnies and clean windows.  Strip the bed and flip the mattress.  Take down your curtains or drapes and wash and iron them. 

We suggest using light and soothing colors in your place of rest and adding special touches like precious pictures and frames, candles and throw pillows.

Then lie back and enjoy...
