I have a sleeping mask and it works pretty good. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 4 points 4 months ago (1 child) You don’t need DIY fingers for basic blackout curtains. As long as the blinds aren’t completely in the way, a tension rod (spring loaded curtain rod) is cheap and just slips into place wherever you need to fit it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Thassodar@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago The blackout curtains/sun block curtains I've recently seen use sticky tape and velcro to block out virtually all light. I've done it, but you have to have someone somewhat tall (I'm 5'11) to get the corners. They use a solid block of fabric, not blinds, to block out everything. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 4 months ago I regret not bringing my curtains and curtain rod when I moved. There is a light right outside my bedroom window and the shitty venetian blinds installed by the landlord fucking suck ass. permalink fedilink source parent
