The Best Window Treatments for Improved Sleep

A good night’s rest sets the tone for your day. If you slept soundly, you’re likelier to have a productive and happy day than if you had a night of interrupted and restless sleep.

Rest Your Best in The Dark

A dark room is essential to ensuring a good night’s sleep. Our bodies produce melatonin, which triggers our natural internal clock. When the sun goes down, our bodies automatically begin releasing melatonin. This is why you feel sleepy once it gets dark outside.

In a modern world flooded with artificial light, we often lack the sun’s natural cue that dictates our internal clock. We spend our evenings in rooms lit by lamps, and our bedtime routines include shining our phones in our faces. These unnatural light sources trick our bodies into thinking that it’s still daytime. The more we rely on artificial light, the less our internal clock can accurately tell time. This leads to a delayed or less potent release of melatonin.

Limiting the artificial light you use after the sun sets is the best way to keep your body’s natural sleep rhythm intact. Additionally, it is crucial to keep your sleeping environment as dark as possible. Studies show that sleeping in a lit room, even if just barely illuminated, can lead to increased heart rate, higher activity of brain waves, and heightened risk for medical conditions like diabetes. Avoid these health risks by keeping your bedroom dark throughout the entire night.

Window Treatments for Sleep

The right window treatments can transform your sleeping experience. We recommend cellular shades and blackout drapes.

Cellular Shades

Cellular shades, also known as honeycomb blinds, are highly energy-efficient and just as adept at blocking unwanted light and noise. Inspired by a beehive, honeycomb blinds use rows of parallel hexagonal cells to create a strong barrier against the elements. The cells create small air pockets that prevent anything, including light, noise, and air, from passing through. You’ll love how peaceful your bedroom feels after you install new cellular shades from Blinds & Shutters of All Kinds.

Blackout Drapery

One of the most common room-darkening window treatments, blackout drapery is a reliable tool to keep your room dark at night. Room-darkening curtains use thicker fabric than traditional curtains or drapes. The additional weight of the material makes it nearly impossible for unwanted light to pass through. Use blackout drapery alone or pair it with your favorite blinds, shades, or sheers for even more thorough protection from light pollution.
