Anyone got any tips for darkening the room? I can't keep doing these 5 am starts 😩 our house is a converted bungalow, we're in the front downstairs bedroom and our bed is in the window alcove so the curtain rail is halfway over the bed so blackout curtains are a no go. We live my OH parents and can't get black out blinds because they have to match all the other blinds at the front. At the minute we've got the blinds and just a black sheet along the blinds which looks so tacky. Losing my mind with these early starts lol!

What about this Hun xx

They attach to the window and you can take them off or put on whenever you want xx

@gabilicious, that's not a bad idea! If they could stick to the plastic I could stick them to the frame then they'd still be on the inside of the bedroom and the blinds would still match. Such a nightmare lol. Thanks! Xx

Yeah I'm sure they'd stick to the window frame no problem, it's alright 5am mornings are a killer I'm still not used to it myself after months of doing it xx

@gabilicious, got to be worth a shot. I'll have to buy 2 or 3 though cos the window is a stupid size and shape 🙄 I know, they're awful ain't they. He just won't go back to sleep and it has to be cos of the light! X

Yeah and if it doesn't work you can always send it back and get your money back, and it's absolutely exhausting so I try to nap when she does as hubby wakes up for work at 4am and his alarm wakes me up so I'm up pretty much from then, and hopefully he'll sleep better once it's dark, Caitlin's just a terrible sleeper so I'm hoping it only lasts another year or less xx

@gabilicious, that's true. I used to nap when he has his morning nap but I always feel worse when I get up so I tend to just plod along the day. 4 am? Jeez, god knows how you manage that each day, I thought 5/5:30 was bad! Hopefully it's something she'll grow out of x

Yeah I know what you mean, now with two kids I can't help but need an energy boost, yeah have to just roll with it, I'm hoping Oliver is a better sleeper than his sister xx
