Do you identify yourself as a highly sensitive person (HSP)? HSPs are usually very reactive to their environment and can be affected by everything from noise to temperatures and even the texture of fabrics.
Scientifically known as sensory processing sensitivity (SPS), the trait causes HSPs to have an overactive nervous system which leads them to be:
Nervous by change
More stirred by emotions
Overburdened by crowds
Easily frightened by loud noises
Deeply induced by the arts, music, and movies
Concerned with things like tickling fabrics, intense lights, or powerful perfumes
For an HSP, the environment plays a massive role in getting your brain to prepare for shutdown. That is why designing a cosy sleep sanctuary can help your body to ease into slumber.
Bianca Acevedo, PhD, a researcher at the University of California, suggests HSPs inject a sense of home, familiarity, and security in their bedroom. It could mean hitting the sack with your furry buddy or as simple as keeping a picture of a loved one by the bedside.
HSPs can also consider making these physical adjustments:
Investing in a white noise machine
Switch to comfy pillows, bedsheets, and mattresses
Keeping sleeping spaces dark and cool, ideally around 18°C
#2: Use your intuition to find your sleep pattern

According to Annie Miller, cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) psychotherapist at DC Metro Sleep & Psychotherapy, every person’s sleeping habits are different.
Since HSPs are highly intuitive, use that to your advantage and find your sleeping pattern. Not everyone requires eight hours of sleep a day. Some can function even with six, so do not force your body to stick to the “norm”.
But if there is one tip to follow, Miller advises HSPs to have a fixed wake-up time. In other words, practise getting up at the exact same time every day.
#3: Develop stress-reducing routines throughout the day
HSPs can be highly stimulated as they go about their day. As such, it’s important to develop routines to reduce anxiety throughout the day.
Since most people know themselves best, figure out your triggers and implement habits around them to lessen their impact. Here are some routines you can try:
