Can Motorized Blinds Improve Your Health?

By Window Treats

motorizationMost often, families choose to buy motorized window blinds for the sake of convenience or even to improve the safety of their pets or children. Alternatively, they may make the switch to motorized blinds to improve the aesthetic quality of their homes or to increase their personal satisfaction with their surroundings. But did you know that motorized shades and window blinds might actually improve your health, too? Let’s take a closer look about how adding motorization to your window treatments can make you healthier.

You’ll get a more restful sleep

While many of us realize we should be getting anywhere from seven to nine hours of sleep per night, the reality is that we often operate on much less shut-eye than that. Unfortunately, that can have a negative effect on our physical health, our productivity levels, and our overall mood. When we lie awake for hours scrolling through our phones or thinking about work we have to complete, we’re interrupting our body’s natural sleep patterns. But you might not realize that automated window blinds can help you to reset them.

Because you’re able to set a specific schedule for your shades, you’ll, therefore, create a routine and help your body prepare for sleep. When you take the work out of shade adjustment and are able to block out obtrusive lighting from other sources outside your home automatically, you’ll be able to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. You can then adjust to this routine, enjoy a deeper and more restful sleep, and wake up feeling ready to take on the day. And since sleep gives your body time to heal, you can improve your personal health while you get your beauty rest.

You’ll prevent heat loss

According to the National Resources Defense Council, windows and doors account for around one-third of your home’s total thermal loss. In the winter, that can be a real problem. Not only can this cause your energy bills to skyrocket, but it can also make your home feel a lot less cozy. And when you feel constantly chilled when you’re indoors, you might be more likely to come down with a cold or a cough and shiver the night away.

We already know that using your shades, blinds, and drapes properly can allow sunlight into your home during the warmest parts of the day and keep heat in once the sun goes down. However, making these adjustments manually leaves a lot of room for error. It’s easy to forget to close the drapes or curtains to trap heat inside, an action you may regret later on in the evening. But when you’ve already installed motorization into your window treatments, you won’t ever have to worry about that. You can set a schedule for these treatments so that your home maintains a comfortable temperature from day to night. This can save you money on heating, of course, but it could also improve your overall immunity or allow you to fight off seasonal illnesses that much more quickly. No one wants to feel freezing when they’re fighting off a cold in the middle of winter! When you feel cozy and comfortable, your body will be able to do its job and keep you from getting sick.

You’ll be less stressed

You might not think the thought of adjusting your blinds or shades could bring on much stress. But it’s just one more task to add on to your daily duties. And if you’re already settled in bed or are working under a deadline, it’s not a chore you’re going to want to do. On top of that, if you’re concerned about your mounting energy bills or are worried about nosy neighbors looking in, making these adjustments may be more important than you originally thought.

In general, automation and motorization are meant to improve our lives and eliminate unnecessary tasks. Reducing your stress levels wherever and whenever possible can improve your physical and mental well-being significantly. This can allow you to actually feel at ease at home, enjoy time with your family, and relax. And that’s definitely good for your health.

As you can see, adding motorization to your window treatments can improve your overall well-being. To find out more about our products, please contact us today.
