The potential role that Window Blinds, which may include Panel Blinds, can play in influencing the sleeping habits of children has been suggested by one expert.
Speaking to momlogic, Jill Spivack, a parent educator, has discussed the ways in which such window coverings can be adopted to help youngsters get to sleep.
The expert is reported as saying: "Close the blinds when your children go to sleep at night, but once it's completely dark outside, go back into their rooms and open them."
Ms Spivack feels that this could enable children to get out of bed more easily each day by letting natural sunlight in.
Meanwhile, she also told the publication that a half-hour wind-down period might be useful if parents want their children to be less hyperactive before bed.
Blinds could also help computer users to deal with strong external light, it was recently suggested by Dr Jeanette Romualdez of CIBA Vision in a Malaya article.
