Do You Need Blackout Shades?

  • Do You Work Nights? One group of people who receive extensive benefits from blackout shades is workers who work the night shift and thus need to sleep during the day. Most people find that even small amounts of daylight can negatively affect both their ability to fall asleep and the quality of their rest once they do, so having the means to block it out entirely is a great help.
  • Do You Live in a Bright Area? Blackout shades may also be a beneficial choice for you if you live in an area where there is a lot of electrical light outside your windows at night, whether from streetlights, other homes or apartments, or anything else. Blocking out these sources of light will help you fall asleep easier and get more restful sleep.
