Sleep better with blackout blinds

How to get better sleep? Start by installing blackout blinds on your bedroom window. Here’s a look at different types of blackout blinds and their benefits, as well as how blackout blinds help you get better sleep.

How blackout blinds improve sleep quality.



It is said that there are 3 key things you can do to get better sleep:


  • wear loose-fitting clothing
  • make your room cool but comfortable
  • make your room as dark as possible

 

The first two things are relatively easy. Wear something loose-fitting to sleep in and turn down your air conditioner to a low but pleasant temperature (if you don’t have air conditioning, slightly crack open your rooftop windows.)


Making your room as dark as possible is a bit more challenging because there are a lot of external factors working against this. This is especially true during the summertime when the days are longer and brighter.


That’s why blackout blinds are such a valuable investment. Blackout blinds, as the name would suggest, help you create a dark-as-night effect in your bedroom whenever you want. This will allow you to be more flexible with your sleeping pattern as you will be able to go to sleep earlier and/or wake up later.



There is nothing worse than trying to get to sleep while your room is still light or getting woken up before your alarm by a beam of sunlight shining through your window. Blackout blinds solve these problems, so you can wake up feeling refreshed.




The additional benefits of blackout blinds.



Blackout blinds can also help make your room cooler, as they block out the sunlight and reduce any greenhouse effect that might warm your bedroom. Also, you will enjoy lower heating and cooling bills after you install blackout blinds due to their inherent energy efficiency.



Noises and sounds that might wake you up in the middle of the night are blunted by blackout blinds too, and blackout blinds also give you an added measure of privacy a nobody can see past them.
