Having good sleep hygiene is an important factor in keeping on top of your mental wellbeing and ensuring you get the perfect night sleep ready for the day ahead. We have created a guide to making sure you have the best sleep hygiene possible.
What is Sleep Hygiene?
Sleep hygiene describes practices and routines surrounding sleep, including our sleep environment, daily routine and attitude to sleep! Sleep hygiene is important as it increases energy during the day, improves your mood, gives us better concentration, lower risk of health problems and enhances our emotional regulation! So let’s be real, good sleep hygiene isn’t just nice to have—it’s a game changer!
Here are our top tips to create the perfect sleep environment
Set your bedroom to a comfortable temperature
A fantastic way to do this is by opting for a thermal blind in your bedroom to regulate the temperature. Thermal Blinds trap out the heat during the summer months and trap in the heat during the winter months insuring your bedroom stays temperature regulated.
Calming colours
We know that our brains get drawn to the bright fun colours however it is important when choosing colours for your bedroom you opt for calmer more relaxing colours such as blues, neutrals and greens! Don’t worry, choosing more toned down colours don’t have to be boring, at MotorisedBlinds we offer a large range of patterned fabrics perfect to add visual interest to your bedroom without compromising your sleep quality.

Block Light Out
The most obvious top tip of all but it is crucial to ensuring you have a good sleep environment. Opt for a Blackout Blind to give you optimum darkness and allow you to have the perfect night sleep.
Create a Routine
One of the best things you can do for your sleep is stick to a sleep schedule, even on weekends! Your body has its own internal clock (circadian rhythm), which helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle. When you stick to a consistent schedule, you train your body to know when it’s time to sleep and when it’s time to wake up. This can make falling asleep easier and help you wake feeling more rested. Opting for Motorised Blind in your bedroom is a great way to enforce this as your blinds can be set to open and close at set times of the day!
A restful sleep environment plays a key role in enhancing mood, boosting energy, and increasing productivity. One simple change that can make a big difference is controlling light exposure. With Motorised Blinds, you can create the perfect sleep setting by effortlessly adjusting your blinds to block out unwanted light and maintain a peaceful atmosphere. Motorised blinds offer both convenience and functionality. You can easily control light levels with the touch of a button, helping you establish a darker, more restful space for better sleep. Whether you’re winding down in the evening or need to keep your room dark in the morning, these blinds provide the flexibility to customise your environment to suit your needs.
Consistency is also essential for quality sleep. Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day helps regulate your body clock, and a well-designed sleep space supports this routine. By investing in motorised blinds, you can take a simple yet impactful step toward better rest and improved wellbeing.
