Just as there are some good colors to use in your space, there are other colors that will wake you up, keep you alert, and make falling asleep harder. Try to avoid high concentrations of colors in your relaxing bedroom space.

Red … quickens the pulse which is not conducive to sleep
Purple … can stimulate the mind and imagination, energizing the body. It can also boost nightmares
Brown … creates a gloomy feeling
Gray … can make you feel dreary and isolated, resulting in restless sleep
