TIRED? TROUBLE SLEEPING? 7 Ways These Blackout Shades Help You & Your Kids Sleep Through the Night and Feel More Rested

Is your bedroom too bright?
Are your kids waking with the sunrise?
Does your baby struggle to nap during the day?
Do you feel tired throughout the day?

Light is the #1 external factor that disrupts sleep—especially when it throws off your body’s natural circadian rhythm. Even small amounts of light can signal your brain to stay alert when it should be winding down, making it harder to fall asleep or stay asleep.

At Bumble Bee Blinds in Westport, we help local families regain control of their sleep with the Ultimate Blackout Shade—a nearly blackout solution that’s safe, stylish, and surprisingly life-changing.

Here’s how these shades help you sleep deeper, feel better, and finally wake up refreshed.

1. Fall Asleep Faster and Sleep Longer
Your body needs darkness to produce melatonin—the hormone that tells your brain it’s time for rest. These shades eliminate every sliver of light, so you can fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

⭐“Wish I would have had these 20 years ago. I’m finally able to sleep a full 8 hrs.” — Eli H.

⭐ “These have been a total game changer for our sleep—way better than our old darkening shades. I can't praise them enough.” — Chuck

2. Help Babies and Kids Sleep More Peacefully
Naps and early bedtimes are tough when the room still looks like daytime. A completely dark environment helps children’s bodies wind down naturally—fewer battles, no bright distractions.

⭐ These blackout shades have dramatically improved our 5-year-old’s sleep—no more 5am wakeups! We loved them so much, we added them to our bedroom too.” — Tom

⭐ “We wanted to get some nice blackout shades for our newborn’s room… they completely kept out the morning light!” — Steve

⭐ “My wife was shocked! The kids sleep longer now, and so do we.” — Patrick

3. Stop Waking with the Sunrise (or the Moonlight)
Whether it’s moonlight, a passing car, or that annoying glow from your neighbor’s motion sensor, light at the wrong time interrupts deep sleep. These shades block it all—so you can wake when you decide.

⭐ “No more street light getting into this room.” — Seth

4. Create a Cool, Comfortable Sleep Environment
Light brings heat—especially during hot Westport summers. These blackout shades are made with high-quality American aluminum and thermal fabric to help regulate room temperature and save energy.

⭐ “The bonus is it seems like it is keeping the heat out.” — Benjamin L.

5. Set the Scene for Movie Nights and Midday Naps
Want the perfect at-home theater? Or the kind of nap where you lose track of time? Pull these shades down and transform any room into a dark, calm retreat.

6. Smart, Stylish, and Built for Real Life
Choose manual, motorized, or smart control via app or voice. These shades work with Alexa and Google Home and can be upgraded anytime. They’re cordless, safe for kids, and easy to clean with a quick wipe.

⭐ “We love the mobile app to wirelessly control the blinds… What a relief!” — Todd F.

7. Custom-Fit, Professionally Installed, and Made to Last
No guessing, no gaps, no light leaks. Every shade is made to order, expertly installed by the Bumble Bee Blinds team, and backed by a 2-year warranty. It’s comfort and craftsmanship you can count on.

⭐ “These are beyond expectations. High quality. They do exactly as advertised.” — Jonathan

⭐ “I installed 8 shades… nearly blackout conditions. The materials are of the highest quality.” — Brant R.
