Ever wake in the morning wanting more sleep? Around my house there is certainly MUCH cause for disturbances: airplanes roaring overhead; cars and trucks thumping along the highway; the sunlight streaming in as the sun rises and beams across the front of the house (which affects three out of four bedrooms).
So this post will come in two parts: the first will be for those who can’t wait for darkness, no matter the time of day.
Nightshift workers, or those of us who just want to sleep beyond the tweeting of birds and the world waking up at dawn have found the Symphony line of BLACKOUT shade fabric just the ticket! And look at these:

So what can happen when you’re sleep deprived, either from not enough sleep or interrupted sleep? Here are just a few of the problems likely to occur:
- Lack of focus, memory lapses and even memory losses
- Daytime sleepiness and chronic fatigue
- Weight gain (or loss)
- Clumsiness
- Caching muscles
- Increased blood pressure
- Increased risk of diabetes
Parents are often more concerned for their children, but, please: Never, never forget yourself! And with the addition of the energy sidetracks, “blocking out the light” becomes good not only for bedrooms, but also for media rooms.
The Symphony line of Blackout fabric blocks 99% of the light, thanks to its unique “integrated foil technology”. It also has a high r-value: 5.8 (when used with a double-paned window). The shades help deaden noise, thank to that extra insulating. And the fabrics and colors are even available in our Skylight Balcony shade models.
Blackout also blocks-out drafts, which will leave you warm and toasty this coming fall and winter. The addition of tracks cuts down that little bit more for those of us with older, “leaking” windows.
Happy to answer any questions on shades — or sleep! Just leave a comment on our blog.
