How to design the perfect night’s sleep

In the era of self-care, getting enough Zs is a rising priority. When it comes to creating a bedroom, what design decisions will actually make a difference?

Not so long ago, a lack of sleep was seen as a badge of honor by a certain set of ambitious achievers. CEOs and entrepreneurs credited their pre-sunrise wake-ups as keys to their productivity and success—who could sleep when there was so much to be done? With a Starbucks on every corner, a culture of bottomless lattes blossomed and the idea of being well-rested was relegated to weekends or far-off vacations. But in recent years, with the renewed focus on self-care seeping into the mainstream, a good night’s sleep is finally becoming fashionable again.

While the wellness craze may have started with the popularization of fresh-pressed juices and elaborate skin care routines, it has since extended into a wider re-evaluation of the American lifestyle. In this new, post-Goop world, finding balance and taking good care of yourself seem, in some corners, to be the ultimate sign of luxury and success. It has even become trendy for startups and Fortune 500 companies alike to have dedicated nap rooms in their offices, where employees are encouraged to rest when needed; weary workers can also book blocks of time in pod-like spaces to nap at New York outposts like Nap York and mattress company Casper’s The Dreamery, which have popped up to capitalize on the burgeoning nap culture that the contemporary workforce has readily embraced.
