睡房是每個人最私密的地方，在此我們能得到充分休息、回復能量。
隨着我們在家的時間越來越多，每天看着一模一樣的睡房，感覺可能已經變得無聊，
亦令我們無法完全放鬆，負面情緒亦有機會因而出現。
要為睡房帶來改變，重點不是要購買大量全新傢俬，而是嘗試從微小事情着手，
多點欣賞自己打造的品味家具空間。以下我們會介紹幾個令睡房更加舒適的小技巧，
讓你能在自己的房間內充分放鬆，為身體及心靈充電。
Bedrooms are our most private, sacred space. It’s where we get our much-needed rest and
re-energize our soul. As we’re spending more time at home, it’s easy to grow bored of the four old walls.
Being in the same room no longer relaxes us as it used to.
Changing up the atmosphere of our bedroom may not require complete refurbishment,
but rather bits and pieces of statement accessories that uplifts your spirit and appreciation
for the room. Read on to learn tips to make your bedroom more comfortable
so you can finally recharge your body and mind.
1｜清理雜物 Decluttering
我們每天都需要確保睡房乾淨整潔，除了能改善衛生及房間外觀，
更能令自己的心情變好，從小事開始告訴自己某些事仍能由自己控制及改變，加強自己的自信心。
你也可以找個時間清除不需要的雜物，想清楚究竟什麼才對自己有重要意義，
家中只擺放數量少而有價值的東西，能讓我們的心境更加平靜。
Keeping your room clutter-free does wonders for your mood. By being able to control
small things in life, tidying builds our confidence and positive spirits. What’s more,
maintaining the looks and cleanliness of your bedroom is always a must.
Spare time to tidy away your clutter and rethink the value of your space. By only displaying
meaningful and valuable items, your soul will grow calmer and more fulfilled.
2｜整理及裝飾床頭櫃 Nightstands
在每一天睡覺之前，不妨檢查自己是否將所有可能會用到的物件放在床頭櫃之上，
例如叉電器、鬧鐘、眼罩、潤唇膏、眼鏡等等，以免在半夜需要時要從床上爬起來，打斷睡眠休息時間。
你也可以在床頭櫃上加入鮮花作裝飾，
大自然的元素總是能令你記起簡單活着的美好。
Before going to bed, check if you have all your needed miscellaneous items
on your nightstand, like your charger, alarm clock, sleep mask, lip balm, glasses etc.
This prevents you from having to get out of bed at midnight and breaking your sleep cycle.
Try putting up flowers on your nightstand.
Adding life to your space reminds you of the wonders of nature and living.
3｜分隔睡床與工作區域 Separation of Spaces
若你平常需要在睡房中工作，我們建議你建立一個獨立工作區域。
一張乾淨而清潔的書枱有助提升工作效率，若房間位置有限，
你可以考慮放置茶几、矮凳等，又或是在牆上安裝層架作為站立式辦公桌。
這能夠避免工作壓力或死線破壞你的睡眠天堂，你休息時才能真正放鬆。
If your bedroom also serves as your workspace, we recommend setting up
a separate working area, like a clean and spacious writing desk.
If your space is limited, consider placing end tables, stools or walled shelves
to transform your space into a standing desk. Having a clean organisation prevents your bedroom oasis
from being overwhelmed by pressure from work. Now, rest easy finally.
4｜採用自然材質 Natural Materials
大自然的元素總是蘊藏某種神秘力量，令人心情愉快。
你可以從自然光、植物、實木傢俬、石頭裝飾等着手，令睡房更具自然生氣。
Incorporating the element of nature always lifts up bad moods. Start by having
natural light, plants, solid wood furniture, or jewellery stone decorations in your room.
5｜燃點喜愛的香薰蠟燭 Scents
香薰蠟燭或擴香瓶協助我們找到生命中的平衡，尤其適合工作壓力大的人，
因為香氣可以讓我們記起我們喜愛的地方或記憶。
在臨睡之前點起自己喜愛的蠟燭，能令心情更加舒緩放鬆，一夜好眠。
在享受蠟燭帶來的香氣時，不妨將電子器材放在一旁，
讓自己從龐大新聞量之中暫時抽身，給自己一點冥想時間，讓自己的心靈更好地恢復。
Scented candles and fragrance diffusers help you restore balance amidst the hustle.
Especially for those under burdening pressure, a familiar scent helps you
recall a favourite place or memory. Light your favourite candle by your bed
to relax your nerves and get a good night’s sleep.
As you’re enjoying the calming scent, try putting away your phone and electronics
to take a break from the deafening news. Squeeze yourself some “me time”
to recover your state of mind.
6｜加入小擺設 Accessories
要令睡房更有新鮮感，不妨考慮在睡房中加入新的小擺設，
例如咕𠱸、畫作、燈飾等等，讓自己能更加享受在房間休息的時間。
To freshen up your bedroom, try including accessories and decorations,
like cushions, art prints and lightings. Let yourself enjoy time in the room even more.
7｜培養整理床鋪的習慣 Making Your Bed
一個正確的起床小習慣可以令你一整天的精神變好，
感覺就像做對了事，給予自己滿足感。
在臨睡之前，爬上整潔的床舖也能令自己用美好的心情結束一天。
As the first thing you do when you wake, this small habit instantly lifts your mood
as if you’re doing something right and satisfying. Moreover, you’re more likely to end your day
in a positive mood if you can climb into a clean and tidy bed at the end of the night.
