How Room Darkening Shades Improve Your Sleep

One important step to take when looking to improve your sleep is to create an environment that is conducive to slumber. For most, this means you need light control because you want a dark environment. You need protection from outside noise as quietness is beneficial for sleep. And finally, you need the ability to keep the space at a comfortable temperature.

With those requirements in mind, our team at Kao’s Pacific set out this month to look at how room darkening shades for the bedroom can help homeowners create better sleeping conditions as part of a campaign to improve sleep.

Tips For Using Room Darkening Window Treatments for Better Sleep

When it comes to a singular shade that can have the most effect on the three aspects of environmental control needed to create ideal sleeping conditions (including light control, sound regulation, and temperature moderation), few come close to cellular shades. Duette® Cellular Shades from Hunter Douglas give homeowners the power to take control of their bedroom environment for a better night’s sleep.

Regular Temperature with Cellular Shades

Cellular shades get their name from their unique cellular design that creates insulating air pockets within the shade itself. This makes the window treatment an excellent ally in creating an interior environment around 65 degrees Fahrenheit, which is ideal for sleep. Cellular shades achieve this temperature control by helping block drafts coming in or heating/AC going out for a more stable internal environment.

Other Ways to Use Room Darkening Shades

  • Create Dark Interiors: Duette® Cellular Shades have several advanced upgrades that can expand the room darkening effects of this bedroom window shade.
  • Duolite® System: The Duolite® system uses two shades, one light-filtering and one room-darkening, operating on a single header to create a range of lighting solutions. In the bedroom, this can be especially useful to create brighter illumination during the day and room darkening effects when it’s time to sleep.
  • LightLock® System: With the LightLock® blackout system homeowners can see the difference between room darkening vs blackout shades. LightLock® uses u-shaped tracking along the edges of cellular shades to capture any light leaks for unparalleled levels of interior darkness.

Add Motorization to Your Room Darkening Window Shades

PowerView® Automation offers motorization for your room darkening shades in the bedroom. This provides homeowners not only with easy control through the system’s handheld remote or online app but also the option for automated operation. You can schedule bedroom window shades in tune with individual household routines, ensuring that when, for example, homeowners are getting ready for a good night’s sleep, their shades are already drawn for privacy.

Can Room Darkening Shades Muffle Sound?

The cellular construction of Duette® Cellular Shades is also great at muffling sound. This helps shield the interior sleeping environment from the noise outside and helps to decrease interior echoing for more peaceful sleeping spaces.
