Re: bedroom makeover and plants in the bedroom. There is a mistake here: plants give off oxygen, not carbon dioxide. (This is why deforestation is contributing to the buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and global warming). Plants give off oxygen, animals give off carbon dioxide, so plants make more fresh air for us, and we make more of the kind of air they like! There may be other reasons not to have plants in the bedroom (too much yin or yang?) but they make good breathing for us!

Plants give off oxygen not carbon dioxide. Plants use sunlight and carbon dioxide in the air to make food and then give off oxygen. Was this written by mixtake? jc

awww, i dont normally post comments... but i was reading other people's comment on this article.. and thought some comments was rather silly.. people often assume plants only photosynthesise.. ie. take up carbon dioxide and release oxygen!.. hehe..!! but they often forget!! that PLANTS ALSO RESPIRE!! a process... which we also do..... use oxygen and release energy as well as carbon dioxide~!.. hehe.. its quite disturbing to see so many people that doesnt relise that... i mean.. if you think about it.... how do plants get their energy?... well answer is respiration... (producing ATP) and as for photosynthesis...it is to get the substrate (glucose or some other carbohydrate) in order to respire it... i hope that people who responded were kids :P i mean all high school kids should know this and especially adults :S:S! and the reason he said plants should not be in rooms is because at NIGHT... when sunlight becomes unavailable.. means that the process of respiration is in greater activity than photosynthesis.. simply because in order for the process of photosynthesis to take place.... sunlight is needed ^^ haha.. i also read "mooty_22" 's comment.. and thought it was funny! haha... husbands and wices.. oxygen suckers? lol :P

On the page regarding sleep: http://health.yahoo.com/experts/drmao/218/improve-your-sleepwith-a-bedroom-makeover/ It says: The reason is that plants give off carbon dioxide and deplete the oxygen in the air you breathe. Huh ? I thought it was the other way around...

I work nights and go to bed in the afternoon so it is much harder to get the quality of sleep I need.

I would agree with all of the items except number 3. I sleep every night with my cat in the bedroom and I miss her if she's not there when I go to bed. I sleep very well with my cat.

I have followed all of these methods & found a small amount of success with them all. This is mostly common sense. we are all guilty of overlooking common sense at times. The thing that gave me the most benefit as well as these methods was my new bed. It has had such amazing results I feel that I must tell as many people as possible. If you want to know more about my new bed & where I got it from then ask in the comments box of my group 'overlooking the obvious'

I'm a bit confused about the no plants in the bedroom part- I was always taught plants use Carbon Dioxide and output Oxygen, therefore giving us fresher air for us humans to breathe.

According to feng shui articles, they say not to have water in the bedroom. I am still unsure by the comments on whether or not to have plants next to your bed or not. I guess I will google it now! When in doubt just do a search. Lots of info!
