Carve Out a Sitting Area
A bench has many practical purposes, but for reading a book or sinking into a phone conversation, you’ll want another, more comfortable setup. If you’re lucky enough to have a big bedroom, you may be able to accommodate a sofa and coffee table, but all you really need is a comfy chair, a reading light, a small drinks table and room to maneuver around them.
Having a sitting area in your room might seem like a luxury, but it can help you preserve your bed solely for sleeping and connecting with your partner, which many experts recommend, especially for anyone who has insomnia.
