With the first bulbs of spring beginning to sneak through the frozen soil around the country, there are many positives. The colours of the countryside returning, warm evenings to walk the dog or sit in a pub beer garden having a pint of ale or maybe a cheeky gin and tonic. Unfortunately, it is not all positive; there is an inconvenience around the corner that millions of people all over the world are affected by. This is unwanted light in the bedroom waking you up prematurely in the morning or at the other end of the day when you are trying to get to sleep on those long summer nights.
So what can be done by this yearly frustration? Lined curtains are one answer preventing sun light penetration through two pieces of material, the back generally being thick. This type of curtain can be pretty expensive, although if you have skills with a sowing machine this can make this option a cheaper one.
Another option is to put a blind behind your curtains. This really can be an effective solution as long as you have a few DIY skills. Such skills can also be useful to change curtain rails, making sure the one you choose does not stick to far out from the wall. The closer your curtains lie to the wall the more of those annoying sunlight raze will be excluded.
Of course there are quick cheap fixes too. If DIY or sowing skills are not your thing then it is possible to buy yourself an eye mask for that uninterrupted night sleep. If you can’t find yourself an eye mask then blindfolds will provide the same pleasing benefits.
