All kinds of factors can impact on how well you sleep, from the amount of light creeping into your room at night, to whether you’ve invested in thebest mattressfor you, to how much screen time you’ve had before bed. One factor that you might not have really considered, beyond your own personal tastes, is the colour of your walls.
A new study is dedicated to trying to figure out which wall colours lead to the best quality sleep. A survey asked 1,064 American adults about their room setup, wall colour, and how well they typically slept, with some interesting results.

Before you rush to your local hardware store for a tin of lavender paint, it’s worth also factoring in sample size. Purple was the least popular colour to be chosen in the survey, accounting for only 25 respondents, and beige amongst the most popular, which could well have skewed the findings somewhat.
The survey also looked into the room configurations that were associated with restful sleep, including where to put your bed in relation to a window, door, TV and so on. Check out the full results of the survey here. And if you’re struggling with bad sleep, some have found using a sunrise lamp to help you wind down and wake up more naturally, or even swapping your duvet for a weighted blanket, can help.
