I'm sure it is true. When our thoughts, spaces, homes are cluttered it runs into everything else in our lives. I never looked at it this way… very interesting concept! I’m sure it is true.

Clutter is something that doesn't bug me much(until I start to declutter LOL)I can sleep perfectly fine in a messed up room just as well as I can in a clean room and I thought my children were the same way(seeing how most nights I can't find floor in the girls room LOL) BUT my 7 year old son normally is a neat freak(something i'm not)and he keeps his room clean most of the time everything in a place sort of boy. The last few weeks he hasn't been putting his stuff away at night and the toys are spread across the floor(I don't know why i didn't ask) but not that I am thinking about this.. the last few weeks he has also been complaining that he can't sleep in his bed, it's not comfy and he has been ending up either sleeping in bed with me or sleeping on the livingroom couch.. Now this post has got me thinking maybe it is the messy room and his personality that is messing up his sleep and his sleeping in his own room. Guess tonight we will get it picked up and see if it helps. I have never given the sleep/clutter thing a 2nd though.

I know for one that creativity is often stifled by the "clean that up! it is a mess, what are you thinking!" type comments. If your child has a creative bent, you can find a compromise on the clutter. Don't squelch it. Every child is different and you know your own best!

Each child has different needs. As long as everyone is happy, what's a few pirates on the floor? My husband could sleep in the middle of a crowded room with loud music going. Not me. We're different. Mess doesn't bother him. Makes me crazy! Chances are your son sleeps better because his little pirate world IS right there where he wants it to be. I couldn’t possibly agree more, Laura.

My room is almost constantly cluttered. Oh wait, it's cuz I have a baby and sick hubby to take care of! lol, no seriously I've had trouble sleeping since I was a teenager, and usually my room is the most cluttered room in the house. My dresser collects things we don't know where else to put. So I think today I am going to declutter my room and see if that helps at all. Hm, I wonder if that’s why I can’t sleep well?

Especially the corner nearest to my side of the bed. Maybe that's why I can't get a good night sleep. One of these "free weekends"(I think I have one coming up in the year 2014) I'm going to get rid of the clutter (she said hopefully) and then say hello to a good nights sleep...I can hardly wait.

I think my girl is just too high strung for this to work for her (leaving stuff out). She just got some new legos and I just don't know how I can help her. We can't even have a clock in her room because she is so fixated on it (when the 7 is at the front she can come down).<br/><br/>Maybe we can get a sheet to cover her legos or something.<br/><br/>My boy would sleep through anything.
