Blackout blinds might be able to play a part in people's attempts to get some sleep, one writer has pointed out.
In order to help the likes of police officers ensure they get a decent amount of sleep, Bryan Fass has outlined a range of tips in an article published by
Officer.com.
He stated: "When it is bedtime shut some stuff off: phones, pagers, lights and dim the digital clock.
"Get some
blackout blinds and use a sound machine."
In his article, Mr Fass also revealed that short naps could prove beneficial to those who are looking to stay mentally alert.
A daily nap that lasts for a period of between 15 and 30 minutes may be useful, he believes.
Meanwhile, when selecting window coverings during periods of hot weather, householders were recently informed by NHS Isle of Wight that metal blinds may not be as useful as reflective coverings.
