A calm bedroom corner with a warm lamp, dark curtains, a small fan, a soft rug, and a thick blanket on the bed.

Sound

Try a fan or white noise for steady background sound. A door sweep blocks hallway noise. Rugs and curtains soften echoes.

Light

Warm, dimmable bulbs are easier on the eyes than bright white ones. Blackout curtains can help with sleep.

Low-cost things to try

  • Loop or foam earplugs
  • A small fan
  • Soft lamp instead of ceiling light
  • A weighted or textured blanket
  • A labeled "calm box" with things that help you
