Better Sleep is Central to a Healthier Life

How to Keep Your Home Quiet for Better Sleep 🌙

Why silence matters—and how the Hinge Husher ™ lubricant cartridge can help.

💤 The Value of Sleep—and the Costs of Missing It

  • 1 in 3 U.S. adults get less than 7 hours of sleep per night. [CDC]
  • The same holds true for children as well, and what's worse, over half of African American children suffer from insufficient sleep. [CDC]
  • Only 26% of Americans report getting 8+ hours of sleep at night. And women suffer even greater deprivation than men. [Gallup]

Insufficient sleep is no laughing matter. It can cause:

  • Increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and stroke [CDC]
  • Impaired metabolism, insulin resistance, and obesity [Wikipedia]
  • Loss of focus, memory issues, irritability, and even weakened immune function (per the NIH and CDC)

🎧 How Household Noise Disrupts Rest

  • One of the most common household noise factors involves others who may still be up and about within the home causing noise from their activities.
  • Typical outdoor sounds can interrupt sleep as well - for instance: traffic, wind bursts, passersby, animal calls
  • Even brief noises like a squeaky door hinge during the night—can cause sudden awakenings, triggering sleep inertia and delaying return to sleep.
  • When interruptions are frequent, you may lose critical deep and REM sleep that are essential for recovery and memory consolidation.

✅ How to Improve Sleep by Prepping Your Bedroom

  1. Audit and adjust your sleep environment: cooler temps (65–70°F), full darkness, comfortable bedding and minimal background disturbances (for instance a loud TV in another room, or footsteps from the floor above you)
  2. Close windows if outdoor sounds are too pronounced or disruptive
  3. Use white/pink noise via an in-room radio/speaker or ear buds to help mask any unavoidable background sound if necessary
  4. Eliminate controllable sudden sounds—like door hinge squeaks—that break your precious sleep cycles
