If Buyer’s Remorse, or even Seller’s Remorse is Keeping You Awake, Here are Some Remedies
Sleep, or lack of it, is such an important topic that I’ve blogged about it before, but I’ve never looked at how buyer’s remorse or second-guessing the sale of your home can trigger sleep problems. If this is you, give yourself a little time and follow these simple tricks from sleep experts:
- Listen to music
The right kind of music can lull you to sleep. There are many apps that offers music specifically made to help listeners get some much needed rest. Try one. - Make your bedroom soundproof
Simply replacing single-pane windows with double-or triple-pane glass can be just the ticket to a quiet space. Here’s a list of local window installation companies that can get the job done. - Get rid of ambient sounds
Believe it or not, filling your home with accessories will prevent noise from traveling. Think heavy draperies and plush rugs. Vinyl, fiberglass and wood also have properties that can cancel ambient sounds. - Add a familiar sound
Experts say our subconscious mind needs to tune into something even in our sleep. So why not block unwanted noise with something familiar like a fan or white noise. - Move your bed
Determine where the unwanted noise is coming from and move your bed accordingly. - Block the light
Your sleep can be disturbed by too much light. This is an easy one to fix with blinds or blackout curtains. - Add a water feature to your room
The soothing sound of water can be the perfect distraction to help you fall asleep. Get a Zen indoor fountain or install a waterfall. Even a fish tank can help. - Sleep sound machines
You have your choice of a variety of sound machines designed to lull you to sleep. The National Sleep Foundation recommends the Dohm by Marpac ($49.95). This machine helps block noise with the gentle sound of rushing air. - Use earplugs
Earplugs work, as long as you find some that fit your ear without falling out in the middle of the night.
The bottom line when experiencing sleep deprivation due to home buyer’s remorse, seller’s remorse, or any other cause for that matter: figure out which of these sleep remedies work for you.
