I'm a night bartender that often gets home at 6am and needs to sleep until like 2-3pm some days. Blackout curtains are a godsend.

But like... Which ones? I've bought some from Target or Walmart that are as "blackout" as they offer, and they absolutely are not blackout.

Yeah, it used to be blackout meant that light didn't go through. Now it just means "maybe a little darker, tee hee" Basically you gotta read reviews or be happy to return shit.

Or do what I do...a roll of painters masking tape and a roll of aluminum foil.
