Wake Up to Sunlight with Automated Window Blinds
It happens almost every morning—you’re warm and cozy in bed, fast asleep, when suddenly your alarm blares. It startles you awake and sends your heart racing. You may press snooze, but in minutes, you’ll be scolded by the alarm again.
That’s no way to start the day. In fact, research by the University of Notre Dame has found that repeatedly waking from an alarm is bad for the heart.
According to sleep expert Dr. Neil Stanley, “Your body hates to be woken up by an alarm because it scares the wits out of you, your heart rate shoots up, and your stress hormones rocket. It seems a bit strange to do that to your body repeatedly in the morning. It might not kill you, but you’re certainly not setting yourself up right for the day.”
Some people try using quieter, gentler alarms—but that runs the risk of not waking at all. So what if you skipped the alarm altogether and, instead, woke up with the sun? As a smart home installer, motorized shades are one of our most popular features, especially for their morning benefits. Here’s how you can improve your wake-up routine with motorized shades in Highland Park, TX.
