Better Sleep Requires Better Blinds

Nearly 40 % of Kiwis get fewer than seven hours of sleep each night, well short of the optimal seven to nine hours we need for our bodies to recharge, revive and restore. This high rate of sleeplessness is a worry as a lack of sleep is linked to psychological distress, a poorer sense of health, weight gain, and lower self-esteem and life satisfaction. If you’re not getting enough sleep, we believe we can help through our black out blinds - also known as roller blockout blinds.

In many cases, New Zealand bedrooms are not dark enough to promote good sleep. Our internal body clock controls our natural sleep-wake cycle and makes us feel awake during the day and sleepy at night. Light is the biggest factor in helping our internal clock get our bodies ready for sleep. Before electricity, humans woke and slept with the rising and setting of the sun, but home lighting, electronics, and light pollution from outside have made it more difficult for us to get to sleep. We need things to be darker, and here’s why.

Melatonin is a serotonin-derived hormone that promotes sleepiness. The pineal gland begins to produce melatonin in response to darkness but exposure to light stops the production of melatonin. When this occurs before bed or during sleep, it can interfere with the sleep-wake cycle. Research has shown that being in a fully lit room before trying to sleep results in delayed and shortened production of melatonin compared to dim lighting. So, the less bright it is before you sleep the better. And while you’re sleeping, our black out blinds will continue to keep things sufficiently dark.

The window furnishings you have now may keep out a certain amount of light - but enough light may still leak through the material to disrupt your sleep. If you’re in a constant sleep-wake-sleep cycle during the night, it could be that there is too much light in your room. Our black out blinds are the solution.  All the fabrics in this range completely block out light - that means no light penetrates the fabric. As well as providing a greater degree of darkness, they also give full privacy and reduce heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer when fully down. Plus, they are stylish additions to your bedroom decor thanks to the range of gorgeous fabrics. 

Our roller blockout blinds are ideal for shift workers who sleep during the day, families with young children, or anyone that needs to create complete darkness to get a better and healthier nights sleep. Click here for a free quote...and sweet dreams!

Outstanding service from everyone at Total Look Blinds. Jo was incredibly helpful in quoting a sun screen blind over the phone including looking up previous work done at home to match measurements, ordered over the phone and installed in less than 2 weeks - well ahead of schedule - high quality, friendly installer. Definitely recommend using this company!

Parvaneh Karimi Fishani
We had double roller blinds installed in our new house. The price was much more reasonable compared to other shops, and their service was reasonably fast. The staff were friendly and helpful!I can't say much about the quality of the material since the blinds haven't been installed for long, but we hope they will be as good as the service we received!
WYNN RIECHELMANN
Absolutely love our TotalBlinds shutters! They have transformed our bedroom. Service from measure up and quote was excellent and communication with the TotalBlinds team was a pleasure! They took half the time than was quoted by another supplier and although they were a bit cheaper, the shutters are very good quality. Plus they are NZ made! Highly recommend!

Bhavika n Divesh Kumar
We used Total Look Blinds in 2005 for our family home. After 19 years of wear and tear we needed some parts and couple of vertical blinds track needed fixing. Took a drive to Takanini and was greeted by the office lady Jo who was very helpful and was amazed when she pulled out our 19 years old invoice from their record. The team manage to fix the track within a day and got the parts i needed at a fair price. Highly recommend them if you want quality products and a fantastic after sales service. Great company to deal with 😊

Kambiz Radman
Could not be happier with my new sun screens and blinds, look awesome. The material seems nice and hopefully durable (I'll update you on that later)."Terry" is a positive Rep who speaks clearly. He measured well but didn't explain some installation details, which confused me afterward. However, "Carolyn" came to the site and explained everything very well. Roger is a professional installer who did a quick and clean job. Thanks "Jo" for admin updates and following up. 101% recommended.
Ant MacLean
