How a Screen Room Can Transform Your Life

Under normal circumstances, you would think that a screen room couldn’t possibly have a huge impact on your life, but these are very different times. With everyone under orders to stay home as much as possible, people are not getting out and socializing. To make matters worse, we are just coming out of winter, and spring fever is in the air. 

Many people are struggling with depression during this time. Many people are staying inside their homes and not going outdoors at all. This can be troublesome. Getting outside even for an hour a day will improve your mental health. And when you are cut off from your friends and family, you need to safeguard your mental health as much as possible.

Some people have trouble getting outside because they are irritated by bugs, bright sunlight, or other nuisances. Many others are afraid to be outside where they may come in contact with others, such as delivery persons. Both of these situations can be remedied with a screen room.

A screen room is completely enclosed, but still somewhat open to the elements. While sitting in a screen room, you can be in the shade while enjoying the warm spring air and cool breezes and all of the fresh smells of spring. No insects, critters, or debris will be able to enter your outdoor sanctuary.

Still wondering how a screen room can make such a difference? Here are some facts to consider:

• Being outdoors reduces blood pressure and stress hormones. 
• You are more likely to ruminate (repetitive negative thoughts) if you do not spend time outdoors.
• Studies have shown that spending time outdoors will lower anxiety, stress, and depression.
• Spending time outdoors can increase your energy level and help you get more done.
• Changing your scenery from indoors to outside can help enhance cognitive ability when you are stuck on a project or problem.
• Spending even 30 minutes outdoors before bed will improve sleep.
