Most experts agree that getting a better night’s sleeper is something we should all be doing. Research suggests that the vast majority of adults do not get the recommended 7 to 8 hours of restful sleep each night.
In fact, the figure is closer to 6 hours (or even less) in most households.
A lack of restful sleep has nothing to do with the intentions of those concerned. Our sleep habits can be disrupted in a variety of ways, often due to causes beyond our direct control.
But there are some sleep disrupters that can be brought under control for better sleep. Many of which can be addressed with the installation of blackout blinds; a simple yet highly beneficial feature for the modern home.
Who Could Benefit from Blackout Blinds?
The potential benefits of blackout blinds extend to all interior spaces and all members of the family. However, there are those who stand to benefit even more from the installation of blackout blinds, including:
- Insomniacs and restless sleepers
- Shift-workers who have to sleep in the daytime
- Children and babies who nap during the day
- People who suffer from migraines
- Individuals with chronic illnesses
- Anyone who is disproportionately sensitive to light pollution
In each of the above instances, blackout blinds could play a key role in improving the sleep habits of those affected.
How Do Blackout Blinds Improve Sleep?
Blackout blinds benefit sleep habits by creating an almost perfectly dark environment for restful sleep. Precision engineered to block out as much light as possible, blackout blinds enable total interior lighting control at all times of day and night; something that can prove particularly beneficial during the summer months, or for anyone who needs to sleep during the day.
However, the benefits of blackout blinds are not limited exclusively to blocking exterior light. The thicker materials used in their construction are also surprisingly energy efficient, helping keep interior temperatures comfortable and reducing energy consumption.
High-quality blackout blinds can also be great for alleviating problematic noise pollution; something that can make a real difference in homes close to public walkways or busy roads.
As an added bonus, blackout blinds have the kind of simple yet sophisticated aesthetic that looks great in any room. From the ultra-modern to the quintessentially classical, all properties can benefit from the installation of blackout blinds; a cost-effective investment in your home’s presentation and practicality, which everyone can enjoy.
