The transition into sunny evenings and lighter mornings can disrupt our children’s sleep patterns. The natural rhythm of sleep, deeply intertwined with the cycles of light and darkness, becomes harder to maintain when evenings stretch longer and mornings come earlier. We’re here to help guide you through undisturbed sleep for your little ones, while also maintaining a careful balance between healthier sleep environments and a more sustainable lifestyle.
April brings the promise of renewal, longer days, brighter nights, as well as a spotlight on global health and environmental awareness. This month, as we observe World Health Day (7th April) and Earth Day (22nd April). We Explore how lighter evenings impact sleep, delve into non-toxic living, and discover simple swaps to reduce our plastic footprint.
Light, Sleep, and Well-being
Understanding the role of light in our sleep cycles is crucial as extended daylight hours can delay the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for signalling our bodies’ time to rest, making it challenging to fall asleep at the usual time. Adapting our environments to mimic the natural progression towards night—using tools like blackout blinds—can help maintain restful sleep schedules despite the brighter evenings. But it’s important to remember that traditional blackout blinds are made using PVC, which leeches thousands of toxic chemicals into the air, seriously impacting indoor air quality.
On World Health Day, we will emphasise the importance of sleep for overall health and explore strategies to adapt to the changing seasons while maintaining restful nights. Our discussion will extend to the benefits of non-toxic, organic living, reinforcing how our choices at home can impact both our well-being and the environment.
Celebrating Earth Day Every Day
As Earth Day approaches later in the month, with this year’s topical theme: Planet vs Plastic, we’re reminded of the urgent need to choose plastic-free products that serve both our immediate needs and the well-being of our planet. Our organic blackout blinds do just that. They not only foster a conducive sleep atmosphere through the sunnier days but also stand as a symbol of our dedication to reducing plastic waste and promoting a healthier ecosystem for our children’s future, as we help parents move away from the traditional PVC alternatives. All the products we produce at Pure Earth Collection act as a solution to the growing plastic crisis we face today, as we redesign everyday children’s products using natural, non-toxic and biodegradable materials.
