Sleep better and healthier-consider organic when buying mattresses and mattress pads to reduce your exposure to VOCs emitted from the stain-resistant treatments on most mattresses.
Turn off the lights in any room you are not using, and use task lighting instead of brightly lighting an entire room, focus the light where you need it.
