I just switched bedrooms myself--went to a smaller and warmer room--and am finding sleeping much nicer as well. I actually slept straight through the night last night, which is unusual for me!

My back is not the greatest in the world so had to sleep on the foam mattress. I did however change the furniture around. I would wear myself out during the day so I did sleep somewhat.

I'm still working on the sleep issue. I'm sleeping better since I moved, but still rarely get more than 5 hours a night.

I'm home today because I've been up since 2am and have a spliting headache. I'm on the computer trying to keep myself up so I don't get my days and nights mixed up.

I'm so glad this is working for you. Another thing you can try is redecorating the master bedroom. Make it look different: new bedroom set and wall color can make all the difference.

I didn't have an extra room to switch to after Ross died. So what I did was completely change our bedroom and bath. I repainted the walls a new color, bought an entirely new bedding set (floral which he always hated!), new valances, new pictures and decor, and cleared all his stuff out of the room and bathroom. I also put away every picture of him that first year. It was just too hard to look at them every time I walked by. It may sound "severe" but it was the only way I could walk back in that room and have any peace at all. I still struggled to sleep but at least I didn't feel like it was "our" bedroom any more. Hope that helps someone who might be struggling with this issue.

I moved 3 times in my own home next will be the terrace! bought a new bed and then new bedding and I still can't sleep. I call the room I sleep in exactly that... I just can't say my bedroom! I miss not having our room even though at times because of his illness I slept in other rooms but at lest I knew he was there.... now he's not and I so wish I was with him!

I am in the same room but it has all new furniture and wall hangings, the works. I had to make it " my " room and not " our " room.

I switched to our daughter's room since she is at college. I can't bear to look at, go into our bedroom. He left me in that room in thst bed. It is shut off and we never go in there. Maybe later but not now. I have just now gotten to where i can walk by the room and the door be open and not fall apart. (my daughter put all the christmas decor in there since we had a difficult time putting it all back in the attic) and the door was left open....shocker the first time that happened..

I want to switch houses...

I also have a large master bedroom. I have 3 windows and get the early morning light and in the spring and summer hear the birds about 5am when they wake up. So, I went to a back room, it is a little smaller and faces the west. I do get a good nights sleep but I take alot of medication because of my health problems and some of this helps me sleep. Things are getting easier for me, it is 2 1/2 years since my husband passed.

Master bedroom is grandkid room / tv room/ their bathroom
And it helped so much, I could not go back there I had to move furniture around, change pictures it haunted me. That helped

New shower curtains / window curtains / new pictures on walls in living room the same way haunted me, I was just so upset seeing what was his pictures NOW I have mine

I know some like not changing anything to remember them but I put things in a scrapbook as I go along, for me changing things to reflect me kept me sane somewhat

What a great post, thx. I've slept in every bedroom in my house now, and I just recently seemed to have found my new spot...

But I'm with linninsocal, i'm switching houses. I sign the papers in a couple of hours, and move in a month! it's just time for a change.

Thx langlois, your post made me smile!
