3 Ways to Get Better Sleep this Winter
Improving the quality of your sleep can directly impact the rest of your life. Sleep improves moods, memory, weight, and overall health. It can even reduce the likelihood of heart disease. For adults, 7-8 hours of sleep per night is ideal, but that can be difficult to obtain. Fortunately, National Window Fashions in Seminole, Florida, can help you set the stage with room-darkening window shades and blinds so you can get better sleep this winter and reap the benefits. Check out these 3 ways to get a better sleep this winter.
#1: Get a Richer Darkness with Room Darkening Window Shades
When you make your room darker, the quality of your sleep can improve. Choosing room darkening vs blackout shades depends on your situation and how much darkness you need. Blackout shades cover cracks, absorb light, and reduce glare.
For a blackout experience, get Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades with LightLock™. The shades fit tightly in your window, with U-shaped sides that prevent light from coming in the sides of the shades. The ridged surface traps and absorbs light.
Hunter Douglas room darkening shades, like Modern Vignette® Roman Shades and Silhouette® Sheer Shades, use the Duolite® feature, which combines a light-filtering shade with a light-blocking shade. You can use these shades independently to maximize light control. Add the de-light™ feature for room-darkening blinds, eliminating cord holes to block more light, to Parkland® Wood Blinds, Everwood® Alternative Blinds, or Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds.
#2: Reduce Outside Noise with Thick Materials
Rich, thick fabrics that prevent outside noise from entering your home can be a boon for better sleep. You can still use fans or noise machines if you need some controlled noise, but things going on outside, like cars backfiring, planes flying overhead, ambulances rushing past, or fierce storms, won’t disturb your rest.
- The fabric cells of Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades and Sonnette® Roller Shades fill with air and insulate your window, which helps absorb sound.
- Shutters made from thick wood, wood composite, or vinyl cover your window entirely and shut firmly to block outside noises.
- The plush fabric folds of Cadence® Vertical Blinds act like a heavy layer of drapery, which can reduce outside noise.
#3: Keep the Temperature Comfortable
If your home is below 65°F or above 75°F at night, good sleep can be hard to come by. Adding PowerView® Automation to your window treatments and tying them to your Google or Amazon device can change that. You can use your window treatments and Smart Thermometer to keep the temperature where you need it for your best night’s sleep. You can also use the system during the day, saving you energy since it starts by opening or closing your window treatments before kicking on your HVAC system.
