1. IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP CYCLE

Sunlight plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy sleep cycle. However, with most people spending the majority of their time indoors, our exposure to sunlight has drastically reduced. This affects our sleep cycle and negatively impacts our health.

Smart blinds can help address this problem—you can program them to automatically open when the sun rises, allowing sunlight to wake your brain and body peacefully. The blinds can also be set to automatically close when the sun goes down to prepare you for sleep. Additionally, you can pair the lights in your home with the blinds, switching on ambient LEDs when the blinds close. Tunable lighting that mirrors natural sunlight further improves the sleep-wake cycle. 

2. INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY 

A good night’s sleep is the key to feeling fresh and productive during the day. When you use smart blinds to fix your sleep cycle, ensuring you get the required amount of shut-eye every day, you wake up feeling fresh, energetic, and productive. 

Automation of smart blinds can also help you make the most of the day by ensuring you wake up on time every morning (by letting the sunlight into your room). No more sleeping in by repeatedly snoozing through your alarm. Create an automation schedule for your smart blinds to optimize your everyday agenda.

3. ENHANCE ENERGY EFFICIENCY 

Many homeowners avoid battery-powered motorized blinds because they think the batteries will require frequent replacements. However, the batteries used to operate motorized blinds are long-lasting, with a shelf life of seven years. Since these batteries are more energy efficient, they will save you money in the long run! 

With your battery-powered blinds, you can reduce your overall energy consumption, lowering your electricity bill, decreasing your carbon footprint, and positively impacting the environment.
