The 12-Point Bedroom Audit
Score the room you actually have, not the one you would show a guest.
Run this tonight, with the lights you really use on. Score each point zero (working against you), one (neutral) or two (on your side).
The audit
Fix the zeros cheapest first. Leave the twos alone, they are doing their job.
01Street light or early morning light gets in before you want it
02Small lights: standby LEDs, router, charger, bright clock face
03Bedside light is warm, dim and below eye level
04Room holds between 16 and 19°C
05Air moves: a fan, an open vent or a cracked window
06Sound is steady, or earplugs are within reach
07The bed is used only for sleep and rest
08Mattress and pillow leave you without an ache by morning
09Bedding suits the season, not the heating
10Nothing on the bed you have to move in order to lie down
11The phone charges outside the room
12You can reach the bathroom at night without a bright light
