Karen explained: "it's closely associated with creativity which is more likely to wake you up rather than help you get a peaceful night's sleep."
Red
This colour is “associated with excitement, passion, and sensuality, red might seem like the perfect colour scheme for your pillows," the sleep pro revealed.
She added: “If you have red pillows, you'll likely feel more restless and stressed – which, in turn, can make your sleep elusive.”
