According to statistics, a person spends almost one-third of his life sleeping in his or her bedroom. A person should sleep for at least 7 to 8 hours daily.
While you sleep, make sure that you are aware of your surroundings. Our surroundings play an important role in controlling our sleep. We mostly sleep in our bedrooms and not only sleep, we rest, relax, do our work and spend some private time with our partner.
