Defeating Daylight (NAPSA)—Until the invention of the lightbulb, people went to sleep when it got dark and woke up when the sun came up. But with shifting work schedules and more complex lifestyles in general, blocking out light in the home has taken on greater importance. Fortunately, a new development in curtains is making it easier to accomplishthis. Sleep in! Light-blocking curtains are more effective and stylish than ever before. Late sleepers, midday snoozers or those looking to create a home theater or home office environment will appreciate Ellery Home- styles’ new Eclipse Curtain”. These curtains block unwanted light with style at an affordable price and without the stiffness of traditional foam lining or the bulk of blackout curtain liners that homeowners and apartment dwellers have relied on to block outside light. In addition to blocking out light, Eclipse Curtains also reduce noise and provide thermal insulation, reducing the cost of heating and air-conditioning. They are manufactured using a weaving technique that incorpo- rates light-blocking fibers within the curtain itself, blocking out 99 percentof the light. Available at Bed Bath & Beyond, Target and Lowe’s.
