Working, eating, watching YouTube videos, playing with my cats, talking on the phone, painting my nails, applying makeup — it seems like I do everything but sleep in my bed. Unfortunately, this can also contribute to poor sleep quality and even insomnia. "Your bed should be used for only two things: sleep and intimacy," said Sujay Kansagra, MD, Mattress Firm's sleep health expert, and director of Duke University's Pediatric Neurology Sleep Medicine Program. "All other activities should be performed outside of your bed, and ideally, outside of your room. When you walk into your bedroom, you want your mind to start focusing on sleep, not your latest work assignment."
