How Plantation Shutters Can Help Improve Sleep Quality

Most homeowners have not considered the connection between sleep quality and window treatments. In fact, your window treatments can play a huge role in how easy it is for you to fall asleep, whether you can stay asleep, and the quality of restful sleep you get. Installing the right custom window treatments can improve your sleep quality by:

  • Reducing unwanted noise and light.
  • Creating a comfortable, cozy, dark environment.
  • Supporting your body’s natural circadian rhythm.

Recognizing Signs of Poor Sleep Quality

Do you need to change your bedroom window treatments so you can get a better night’s sleep? Recognizing the signs of insomnia, sleep disorders, and poor-quality sleep can help you take the right steps toward finding out what is causing your sleep issues and fixing them. Here are some of the signs you are not getting high-quality sleep and could benefit from installing plantation shutters in your bedroom:

  • It takes you more than 30 minutes to fall asleep.
  • You wake up more than once during the night.
  • You have trouble getting back to sleep once you have woken up.
  • You feel groggy when you wake up, even if you think you got enough sleep.
  • You have trouble concentrating or have memory problems.
  • When you wake up, you feel ‘hungover,’ like you have a headache, are tired, and have body aches.
  • You experience changes in your skin, hair, and nails.
  • Your eyes are red and puffy, or you have bags or dark circles.
  • You are gaining weight.
  • You feel stressed out, anxious, depressed, and emotionally drained.
  • You are getting sick more often.

Getting a Better Night’s Sleep With Plantation-Style Shutters

Three major factors that affect how quickly you fall asleep and whether you can stay asleep are temperature, light, and noise. Most people sleep best in a cool, dark environment with minimal or no noise. You can dramatically improve your bedroom’s sleep environment by addressing these three areas. Installing plantation shutters can filter out unwanted light and give you full control over the level of light that comes into your bedroom. Plantation shutters also offer insulating properties and can reduce unwanted solar heat gain through your windows during the day so that your bedroom is cooler at night. They can also reduce the loss of cool air from your home’s cooling system, preventing it from escaping through your windows. Finally, plantation shutters offer noise-canceling properties. They absorb sound and reduce the chances that noisy neighbors, traffic, or animals will keep you awake at night.

Finding the Perfect Wood Shutters for Your Home

If you have noticed a decline in sleep quality or are having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, installing custom window treatments can help. Our design consultants can help you find the perfect plantation shutters for your bedroom. You want home shutters that will block out outside noise, filter out external light, and improve the temperature of your bedroom. We will help you consider these factors to find the perfect window shutters for your bedroom:

  • Type of Window Shutters – Plantation shutters are available in a wide variety of materials. We will show you samples and photos and go over the advantages of each type, including natural wood shutters, composite shutters, and PVC shutters.
  • Window Shutter Style – Next, we will help you determine which style of window shutter is right for your bedroom. We will also discuss the advantages of traditional shutters, wood shutters, louvered shutters, and cafe shutters.
  • Other Factors – Finally, we will help you consider other factors that will affect how well your shutters improve your sleep, including their operation and functionality, aesthetics, durability, care and maintenance, and ability to block out noise, light, and heat.
