If the bed is the only place of refuge, still do what you can to keep wakefulness and sleep in separate zones. Lisa Strauss, a psychologist specializing in cognitive behavioral treatment of sleep disorders, has suggested designating different sides or ends of the bed for reading and sleeping.“Make sure your space is well ventilated, and consider an air purifier,” says Kahn. This is especially important if you’re cooking in the same space you’re sleeping in.
