Greensboro home, before window treatments

 

Greensboro home, after adding window treatments

Are you trying to decide if window treatments are important? That depends if you're ready to sleep like a bear in hibernation!  Per Michael Breus Ph.D., author of the book Sleep: Look Younger Lose Weight and Feel Great Through Better Sleep:  a bedroom that lets even a little light in, either from street lights or a full moon is the second most common reason people have trouble dozing, (anxiety is number one). Per Breus: Light shuts down your body's production of sleep-signaling melatonin; so keep things as dark as possible. 

 

As for the number one reason, yoga is a great stress release! I've also found Vitamin D3 to be very helpful, with dosage levels as seen in lef.org (life extension foundation.org).  I also like Valerian time release, but since do not have any medical training, I'm not qualified to advise what is safe for you. So, I'll stick to what I DO know - I can provide a definate solution to the second most common problem - just get custom window treatments! Why?

 

• Because custom drapes can be made as wide as necessary, to block all of the light, on the left, on the right, and at the top! 
• You can add thick lining or black out lining to make the room totally dark!

 

Why is sleep so important? As explained in Women's Health Magazine, September 2008, "more and more evidence links a lack of sleep to health problems like depression and even cancer." Why take insomnia as a given? A few tweaks can help you get consistant peaceful sleep! Notice how custom window treatments also make this Greensboro home feel cozier!
