A desk near the bed
Setting up a small corner of work next to the bedroom will help you when you are constantly turning around in bed without being able to calm your mind. This will be your mini office, a night version of your daytime working area: it will have to be more cozy and comfortable, ready to welcome you in your pajamas with slippers on. To pin-point ideas on the fly coming from one dream to another, a mini-office within the reach of slippers will be a boon.
If you don’t share the bed with anyone, or if you are too lazy to even thing of leaving the bedroom at night, in spite of your sleepless hours, place a little coffee table or a bench just at the foot of the bed. If you fear the world outside of your room, just shorten the spaces.

A desk in your bathtub

Once you have tried this new, multitasking version of a bath, you will never want to go back.

An alternative to your bed
Sometimes a little change is enough to give us back a peaceful sleep. Especially for people who often suffer from lack of sleep, the very sight of their room can remind them of all the nights they spent awake, staring at the ceiling, turning around again and again between their bed sheets. Therefore, it could be a good idea to change room, whenever it seems to be impossible to sleep. Of course, you cannot have two bedrooms, and sofas are often not very comfortable for naps and night sleep. But we have a solution for that: the chaise longue. This special armchair is designed to be the most comfortable and relaxing seat ever, and it really is. Its reclined shape will embrace in a cozy hug, as a design lullaby just for you.
Take a look at this article, to find out more about the chaise longue history, and discover more designers and models that reinterpreted this classic seat.
