“Getting a good night’s sleep shouldn’t be considered a luxury,” said Dale Lowman, who owns and operates the Budget Blinds franchise that serves South New Castle County. “There are simple things people can do to create a sleeping environment that’s a knock out.”
One suggestion to get your required amount of rest is to make your bedroom conducive to sleep – dark, cool, quiet and comfortable.
“There are wonderful window treatments that block light and prevent heat gain, making them excellent choices for the bedroom,” said Lowman.
Exposure to light can disrupt sleep. If the light is bright enough, it can reset a person’s sleep-wake cycle or circadian rhythm. If drawing the blinds closed doesn’t block the light from that pesky streetlamp that’s disturbing your sleep, there’s still hope.
“The key to complete light blocking are the features you choose,” continued Lowman.
Some light-blocking features can be added to new window treatment purchases to enhance room darkening. Others can be added to existing window treatments to enhance light blocking. Here are some of the options sleep-deprived homeowners can choose from:
• Add a blackout liner. Blackout liners are perfect for shift workers who sleep during the day and the friend to new parents who want to encourage good sleeping habits for infants and toddlers.
• Add decorative tapes to horizontal blinds to block light that enters through rout holes, or choose routless louvers for your blinds.
• Cornice boxes and valences block light that can enter through the small gap at the headrail of the window treatment.
• Roman shades and woven woods benefit from the addition of room darkening liners, which present a uniform look to the street. Room darkening cellular shades block light and add insulation between cooled indoor air and the glass.
• Sleep experts encourage troubled sleepers to wake at the same time every day. An additional feature that can help you wake at the same time every day is programmable motorization. Just set the programmable timer to open your window treatments at a specific time in the morning and the light that was blocked all night will help wake you.
• Add drapery panels to block light from seeping through any gap that exists between your window treatment and the wall. The added benefit is you can change your drapery panels with the seasons and update the look of your room.
“I think the best part about our service is there’s no need for sleep-deprived homeowners to shop from store to store to find the right window treatments or attempt to do it alone,” said Lowman
“Budget Blinds offers convenient, free in-home consultations as well as professional measuring and installation services. It doesn’t get easier than that!” said Lowman.
