Simple Tips to Give You a Better Night’s Sleep 
| Giving yourself the opportunity for a
good night’s sleep can leave you feeling energized when you wake.

Screeching cars. Ringing cell phones. Email accounts full of junk mail. We are living in a world of ever increasing technology. And even though speed is the motivation behind most of it, we are finding ourselves with fewer minutes each passing day. So, which
activity usually gets cut first? – Our Sleep. Currently, there are between 80 and 100 million Americans who suffer from some type of insomnia.
Sleep deprivation can lead to a host of mental and health issues, costing the U.S. economy billions each year in accident, productivity loss and healthcare related costs. In order to ensure you are receiving the best sleep possible each night, try these helpful tips:- Limit your caffeine intake during the day. Too much caffeine during your daylight hours can carry over to your midnight hours. It can cause you to fall asleep slower and toss and turn or wake up in the middle of the night. Determine which foods, beverages, and even medications may be affecting your sleep and adjust accordingly.
- Increase your daytime activity. If you become more active during the day, your body’s
excess energy will be spent and you will receive a better nights rest. Try not to work out right before bed though. Most people become more alert right after a workout.
- Try blackout fabric shades. Create a sleep environment that is cool, quiet, and dark. Manage these environmental factors easily by using blackout fabric shades. Energy
efficient double cellular shades have a special lining that blocks out 99 percent of light. An optional side-track system can totally eliminate all light leaks, which is particularly important for people who sleep during the day or are sensitive to any morning light peeking around the shades. Gordon’s Window Decor (www.EcoSmartInsulatingShades.com) offers a foil lined polyester double cell blackout shade with side tracks, that when lowered, keeps your bedroom cooler because the hot air is “trapped” both in the honeycomb cells and between the shade and the window. An extra benefit is that these shades can virtually pay for themselves in energy savings. Cellular blackout shades also absorb outside noise.
By creating an environment that is dark, as well as quieter and cooler, you will set the stage for a peaceful night’s sleep.
- Shed those pounds. A medical condition known as sleep apnea, a disorder in which you actually stop breathing during sleep, affects many people who are more than twenty pounds overweight. People who suffer from sleep apnea do not rest, not matter how many hours they sleep.

EcoSmart Child Safe Window Treatments Offer Consumers Safety and Beauty
 [Essex Jct., Vermont 9/24/2007] - We all know that a home can pose many hazards to young children, but did you know that window treatments are one such danger? In fact, statistics reveal that multiple children die each year from strangulation injuries involving window shade cords. These are deaths that could have been prevented with child safe window treatments and preventative safety measures.
EcoSmart Insulating Shades®, a leading innovator in the window fashions industry, continually strives to make its window coverings as child friendly as possible. Available at Gordon’s Window Decor, Essex Junction, the EcoSmart line offers a variety of safety features designed to add style to homes as well as bring peace of mind to parents and caregivers. “We are committed to child safety,” said Gordon’s Window Decor President, Gordon Clements,
“EcoSmart offers an attractive cordless cellular shade which provides safety and ease of operation. We are continuing to develop solutions that improve child safety in window fashions.”
EcoSmart Cordless Cellular Shades are the premier child safe choice, combining the style and functionality of a cellular shade with the beauty of cord-free operation. Instead of relying on cords, which can entangle small children, a gentle push or pull on the bottom rail is all that’s needed to
raise and lower the shade.
The EcoSmart Cordless Hardware System is currently available in a variety of fabric styles, Light Filtering Double Honeycomb, Room Darkening, and Single Honeycomb, Light Filtering and Blackout fabrics. These energy efficient cordless shades create elegant treatments which are beautifully child safe.
Corded cellular shades from EcoSmart are also safeguarded. The exclusive Breakthrough Cord
Connector snaps open when pressure is applied to the cord loop should a child become entangled. Although it is essential to keep cords out of the reach of small children, this component adds an extra measure of protection by coming apart in an emergency. Our Wood Alloy Blinds also employ a similar cord feature which is activated by excessive pull forces.
Most of the Verticals we carry may be fabricated without pull cords. Tilt wand options on
Performance Drapery Sheers, EcoSmart Cellular Verticals and Soft Sheer Verticals yield cord-free blinds. Not only are these verticals child safe, they are easy to operate. And since these designs are made without weights and bottom chains, these innovative verticals are safe for children and pets alike.
“We know that replacing window treatments is not a viable option for everyone,” said Diane Clements, Co-Owner, Gordon’s Window Decor. If cordless window treatments cannot be
purchased, Clements suggests that existing shades and blinds can be made more child safe with the addition of cord cleats and cord tensioners. When using a cord cleat, the device is installed high and out of reach of small children and then the excess cord is wound around it. This prevents children from becoming entangled in the dangling cord. For a window treatment with a cord loop, a cord tensioner keeps the cord taught to prevent it from twisting and tangling.
Gordon’s Window Decor is located at 4 Laurette Drive and is open Monday through Saturday, 9:30- 5:30 (5:00 on Saturday).
