Health Benefits:

Since a dark room maximizes the beauty of Nightscapes, we'll share with you some of the health benefits!

Produced by the pineal gland, a hormone called melatonin works not only as a sleeping aid, but is a potent antioxidant, immune booster and guardian of our aging clock, says Dr. Geraldine Mitton in her Anti-Ageing Handbook. “It is produced in the dark while you sleep." If you have too much light, melatonin production drops dramatically.

Optimal melatonin production only occurs at night and is dependent on a dark environment. In those late hours of the night, melatonin levels are five to ten times higher than during the day

Something that helps maximize room darkness are blackout blinds.

Also, draping dark fabric pieces over bright alarm clocks has a dramatic effect on the darkness of the room.

Just as the real night-time sky looks better without light - the darker your room is...the more detailed it will appear.
