Answer: If you are having trouble sleeping, try to incorporate some kind of noise into your environment to help drown out the silence or other ambient noises. This will act as a diversion for your brain and give you something to focus on instead of your anxieties or your efforts to fall asleep. Sound machines are great for this. They have multiple different kinds of soundscapes, such as ocean waves or thunderstorms, that can help you fall asleep. This can also be helpful if you live somewhere where there is a lot of outside noise that constantly wakes you up. If this is the case, you may also want to consider ear plugs to help you sleep. When you are trying to create the best environment to sleep in, you need to make sure the lighting is low in your room. This means you should avoid turning on overhead lights or bright lamps too close to bedtime. These lights will lower your production of melatonin, a hormone that helps you sleep. You should also turn off all lights when you go to bed. If you can't control the light in your bedroom because of external sources of light, try using blackout curtains, blinds, or an eye mask to help block the light so you can sleep. If you have to have a night light or similar light to show how to get to a hallway or bathroom, try using a red bulb, which has been shown to disrupt sleep less than normal light bulbs. The opposite is true for getting up in the morning and trying to stay awake. The brighter the lights, the more awake you will feel. In order for you to sleep well, you need to be comfortable. Temperature regulation in your bedroom is key to getting a good night's sleep. Find the temperature that you are most comfortable at when you sleep. Try to keep it constant, as extreme temperatures in either direction can disrupt your sleep patterns. This may be warmer during the colder months and cooler during the summer months. If you live with other people and you like the temperature at varied levels, try to find a comfortable medium temperature that makes you both happy. Picking the right sleep clothing can also help you stay at the right temperature at night. Be sure to wear more clothes if you are prone to being chilly or wear breathable fabric if you overheat. When you are having trouble sleeping, you may want to stay in bed all day and try to get more sleep. Avoid doing this because you will start to associate your bed with restlessness and frustration instead of sleep. Instead, if you haven't fallen asleep within 15 to 30 minutes of going to bed, leave your bed and do something else until you get sleepy again. Avoid doing anything too stimulating or exciting, which may make it even harder for you to get to bed. Don't take your insomnia as a sign of defeat. Thinking like this will only make your depression worse. Instead, just try to relax and do something boring until you get sleepy again. If you are constantly tired, you may be tempted to sleep any place you can fall asleep. This, however, can make it difficult to get your body regulated to a normal sleep pattern. Try to avoid falling asleep on your couch or in a cozy chair in your living room. These places should be for relaxing and wakeful activities and not for sleep. If you feel as if you can't keep your eyes open anymore, move to your bed. This will help you sleep better and lower the risk of you being disturbed by inadequate sleeping surfaces or disruptions from others in communal spaces such as living rooms.

You can customize the peg board to fit your wall's dimensions, and you can paint it to match your kitchen as well. Peg boards designed for the kitchen typically cost between $30 and $80. Drill screws into the corners of the peg board to keep it in place on the wall. It's also a good idea to insert screws methodically throughout the peg board for extra reinforcement. To display your pots and pans without hanging them, use a cart or wire shelving. Find a colorful cart that will fit in your kitchen and use it to store pots and pans that you use frequently. To store many different pots and pans, place them on a wire shelf set up against the wall. The shelf doesn't have to be made of wire, but wire shelving is sturdier and won't be as easily damaged by wet cookware. Wire carts tend to be pricier than racks a cart will typically cost more than $50 while you can find a wire rack for $20 or $30. The price will depend on the size and quality of the cart or rack. If you have a kitchen island with open space underneath, install hooks to hold your pots and pans under the island. Make sure the hooks are strong enough to hold each pot or pan. While this is a hanging method, your pots and pans will be hidden away in your pantry. Use a peg board or linear wall rack to store pots and pans. Make sure to measure your pantry to see what size peg board or rack you'll need beforehand. If you have a large corner cabinet, remove the cabinet's door as well as any shelving inside. This creates an open look, and you can install hooks in the top of the cabinet to store your pots and pans for everyone to see. For convenient access to your cookware, store your pots and pans above your oven and stove. Some ranges already have a shelf installed, but you can always install your own. Make sure the area is well ventilated since your pots and pans are just above where you cook, the air tends to get greasy. If you don't have space above your stove or oven, install a shelf above a door or along an empty wall. If your kitchen already has deep pull-out drawers, great! Store your pots and pans in them, making sure to line the cookware with paper towels or another soft material if you're stacking them. If you don't already have deep drawers, it's possible to install them. Visit or talk to an employee at a kitchen appliance or home improvement store to learn how to do so. You can divide deep drawers using an organizer to avoid having to stack your pots and pans on top of one another. Deep drawers usually cost between $25 and $45, plus the cost of labor to install them. Use a towel bar to store your lids either out on display or inside of a cabinet. If you choose to make them seen, install the bar on a wall or the side of a counter. Install the bar on the inside of a cabinet door to keep them out of sight. Towel bars cost $15 or $20 on average. You can install towel bars by using simple screws or mounting brackets that come with the bar. If you have lids that are magnetic, you can use a magnetic knife strip to hold them up on the wall. Just make sure your lids aren't too heavy for the strip. Magnetic knife strips cost between $15 and $60, and they can be installed by using screws to hold them in place on the wall. If you have an empty tub or basket in your home, use it to store your lids. You can keep the basket or similar container on display, or you can tuck it away inside a cabinet or pantry.
