Lacking sleep? According to a survey, the color of the walls in your bedroom may be to reason.

Finding the underlying reason for poor sleep is difficult. Insomnia and other sleep problems, improper eating habits, and inactivity can all contribute to insomnia. If you've had trouble falling asleep for a time, you've probably tried every sleep aid. However, we advise trying out one more strategy: Change the color of the walls in your bedroom. According to the results of a recent survey, purple walls promote more incredible sleep.

Entering the Survey

A study on the ideal sleeping arrangements in bedrooms was released in July 2022 by the mattress review business Sleep Junkie. Researchers looked at how the hue of the walls affects sleep as one aspect. Among the 1,064 study participants, 84% of those whose bedrooms had purple walls said they slept well most nights. (Women made up 3% of responders with purple walls.) With 76 percent of blue bedroom sleepers reporting consistently nice zzzs, blue walls came in second. Brown and beige walls matched the poorest sleep quality at 31%, while 33% of respondents with yellow walls reported frequently having bad sleep quality.

Psychology of Color's Effects

Purple has easily prevailed in this survey. While the study's researchers did not elaborate on the reason why purple walls promote better sleep, color psychology does provide some explanation. The proprietor of Mountain Vista Psychology, PLLC, and licensed psychologist Steffanie Stecker, Ph.D., stated on the business' website that "Color plays a more significant part in our lives than we know." It may have an impact on our bodies, thoughts, and general mood. Although some people's perceptions of color are arbitrary, there are hues that are universally associated with particular objects. According to Dr. Stecker, purple is frequently associated with emotions such as melancholy, apathy, or calmness—all of which are necessary for getting a good night's sleep.

According to the London Image Institute, the connotation of purple can change depending on the hue. Lighter tints suggest sensitivity, romanticism, and compassion whereas darker tones suggest power and urgency. Additionally, purple has historical significance since it has long been seen as a regal hue in several societies.
