Just like the right vitamins and adequate exercise, the right amount of light is proving to be an essential element for optimal health. Not surprisingly, natural sunlight delivers the entire spectrum of light needed to cue your body’s circadian rhythms, which control your sleep/ wake cycles. The first rays of dawn, the bright indoor light of your local coffee shop, the direct task lighting at your desk—these are all cues to your eyes and brain that it’s time to wake and work.
Conversely, dim light, soft shadows and complete darkness help signal our bodies that it’s time to rest. Unfortunately, the trappings of modern-day living serve up quite a few disruptions to this perfectly natural rhythm. So, getting serious about your sleep is seriously healthy. The secrets to a perfect night’s sleep is to create a dark sanctuary with fully closed window coverings and turn off all sources of artificial light.
OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
Duette® Honeycomb Shades Duette® Honeycomb Shades with LightLock™ use unique U-shaped side channels that overlap the front and back of the shades. The secret to unparalleled room darkening lies within the patent-pending side channel design—which features rows of specially shaped microridges, optimized to absorb or deflect nearly all incoming light while preventing the light from seeping into the room.
