How to immerse your room in the dark for a peaceful night?

In the bedroom sleeping, the light can be a real nuisance. While some people are very comfortable with the sun's rays reaching the sleeping area or the bright LEDs of electronic devices, for many, the light disturbs sleep. How to get complete darkness in a bedroom and have quiet nights? Focus on 6 tips for sleeping in total darkness. 

Tip # 1: turn off or unplug electrical devices that emit light


First of all, if you want to make your bedroom completely dark to sleep better, you must get rid of obvious sources of light. Electric alarm clock, screensavers, leds of all kinds of digital equipment ... For total darkness, turn off or unplug all devices that emit a light when they are on. These sleep lights, no matter how small, produce an annoying halo of light when night falls. 

If you have an electric alarm clock and don't want to part with it, swap it for an analog model or cover it with an opaque fabric so that the light emitted doesn't bother you at night.

Tip 2: swap your curtains for blackout models


Put your light curtains and curtains in the closet, and invest in blackout models to block the exterior light emitted by street lamps or the rays of the sun in the early morning. Thicker than traditional curtains and lined with an opaque material, they prevent light from passing in a simple and more or less effective way depending on the model. If you do not want to invest in this type of solution, which can be expensive, or if you want to keep your current curtains, know that there are blackout liners that can be easily attached. 

While they help reduce the brightness in the bedroom, blackout curtains are not perfect: since they are not pressed against the windows, a strip of light is created all around and prevents it from being completely dark. To remedy this and counter this effect, consider choosing a rod that is wider than your windows . 

Tip # 3: Choose window blinds


Venetian, pleated, roller ... There are a whole bunch of blinds to be fixed inside or outside windows in addition to curtains or shutters. Thanks to their horizontal or vertical slats, or their fabric panels, blinds can considerably reduce the light in the room. And what's more, they are easy to install!

Tip 4: hide the bottom of the door to prevent the light from entering


Sometimes the unwanted lights do not come from the room itself but from the outside or from an adjacent room. All around the door to the sleeping area, or that of the entrance to the accommodation, the light can form a very annoying halo which diffuses throughout the room and disturbs your sleep. 

To remedy this, there are no 36 solutions: Mask the bottom of the problematic door with a door bead or a mat to prevent light from entering your bed. Peaceful nights guaranteed!

Tip n ° 5: bet on opaque films to attach to the windows


If the curtains are not enough to block the light coming from the outside, consider opaque films to be attached directly to the windows. Repositionable or electrostatic, some models can even be applied and removed as needed. During the day, let the light enter your room by peeling them off your windows. At night, fix them in the blink of an eye and have sweet dreams. 

Tip 6: install roller shutters on bedroom windows


None of the temporary tricks worked to make your room dark? Are you always awake when the day breaks? Perhaps it is time to take the most radical solution ... Swap your classic shutters, which often let in a lot of light, for electric models that roll up and down at the push of a button. 

Although sometimes expensive and requiring a few small jobs, roller shutters are the most effective when it comes to blacking out a room. Once the metal slats are lowered, no interstice allows outside light to pass through. The dream !
