Experts believe that establishing a consistent bedtime routine is important in creating a cozy and restful environment in one’s bedroom. If this environment is achieved, sound sleep may follow. Noise and light are two of the factors that may disturb one’s sleep. If one is sensitive to sound he/she may purchase earplugs available in the market.
