CLEAN YOUR BEDROOM

I have spent many nights over the years tossing in bed until those painful hours when the sun wakes and peeks above the window sills. As a light sleeper, I have learned to make changes in my evening routine that help me grasp a sound night's sleep.  One of the simplest changes being tidying up the bedroom.

The realization that I could not sleep soundly in a messy room occurred after Joseph and I were married. Dirty clothes littered the floor, we still hadn't sorted through Joseph's junk things, and we'd stumble over piles of un-used decorative items, and the wedding gifts that we hadn't yet taken the time to organize. I couldn't sleep, because even after the lights were out, all I could see was the list of unfinished tasks strewn about the room.
