Room by room

Every room has two layers: the measurable science of what's in the air, water and materials — and the felt art of how the space is arranged.

Bedroom

What to fix

  • Chase down every light source: blackout coverings on windows, small opaque stickers on standby LEDs.
  • Keep screens out of the room entirely rather than negotiating with them at midnight.
  • Run a HEPA filter overnight so the hours your body repairs are also the cleanest ones.
  • Sleep on natural fibers where you can — wool, cotton, or bamboo over synthetic foam.

How to arrange it

  • Back the headboard against a solid wall so you sleep with support behind you.
  • Leave both sides of the bed walkable and equally accessible.
  • Empty the space beneath the bed; storage there sits under you all night.
  • Position the bed so you can see the doorway without lying directly in line with it.
