There are myriad ways to hack your sleeping patterns, from temperature regulating mattresses, to sleep sprays, and guided meditation apps. But before you look at investing in the latest products, cast your eye around your bedroom and consider your choice of colour palette.

'Studies have shown that the colour of our bedroom does have a significant impact on the quality of our sleep and it's all down to psychology,' Abby Hesketh, Paint and Colour expert at Graham & Brown, says. 'Colours influence our emotions and therefore we attribute values and meanings to them.'

Whether you want to feel more rested and ready to conquer the day, or you're a night owl who is most productive late into the evening, these are the colours you need to bring into your bedroom to transform your sleeping pattern.

Cool blues help restless sleepers

If you're a restless sleeper who frequently wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, you would benefit from a calming environment that utilises colours from the cooler side of the colour spectrum. Lucy Ackroyd, Head of Design at Christy, says: 'For those struggling to fall asleep and unwind after a busy day at work, you should consider incorporating cooler earthy colours, like calm-inducing blue and mint green. These restful colours promote tranquillity and are associated with stability and peace so are the perfect antidote to a restless mind and body.'

Energising oranges suit early risers

Early risers are often full of energy from the moment they wake up, so their bedroom should reflect their energy and proactive nature. The best colour palette for the early riser would be bright and refreshing. 'Warm sunny colours, such as soft yellow and zesty orange, can make the room cosy whilst also radiating positive energy. These bright sunny colours will match the individual's sleeping style and enhance their vibrant morning motivation,' Lucy explains.

Calming nudes for night owls

Neutral shades will have a soothing effect for those staying up late whilst the world around them sleeps. 'As night owls prefer a lie in and are more productive towards the evenings, they need a colour palette that promotes freshness and serenity throughout the whole day to ease their waking hours and help them wind down at night,' Lucy says. 'The colour palette of a night owl's bedroom should be centred around creamy nudes, such as beige, ecru, and light pastel tones, like soft pink.'

Grey tones to soothe deep sleepers

If you find yourself sleeping soundly and not being disturbed easily by external factors, then you're likely to be a deep sleeper. 'Deep sleepers tend to wake up well-rested, so their bedroom colour scheme should reflect a tranquil but stimulating environment. This will help them switch their body's functions from total relaxation into a gentle wake-up routine,' Lucy explains. 'A bedroom of soft greys and crisp whites will provide a calming start to the day. Complement these neutrals with other soothing but luxurious tones, such as soft elegant gold, to give your bedroom an opulent and comforting feel.'
