Best conditions for sleeping
We need beds or mats in å well-ventilated bedroom.
- Beds are made to sleep on for convenience, and they have mattresses made of foam. You relax better on å bed than on å mat.
- Å mat is å locally made material for sleeping. It spreads flat on the ground.
- Å bedroom is meant for sleeping without disturbance. It should be well ventilated.
- Å well-ventilated room is å room where enough air comes in and goes out, so there is no heat.
We need å lot of sleep to be healthy. After the day’s work, we need to sleep at night. We gain back our energy after the day’s work by having enough sleep at night.
