Re: blackout shades
Back when I worked nights and slept during the day I just put a t-shirt over my eyes.
It's free and works better. |

Re: blackout shades
It just depends on how closely they fit over the windows. From the description the shades themselves don't allow any light to get through, but usually there's a bit of a gap where light sneaks in. You could just go to Home Depot or Walmart or whatever and buy any kind of "light blocking" shades. Usually they carry this and the "light filtering" variety, which lets quite a bit of light through.

Re: blackout shades
Get aluminum blinds (as opposed to plastic, because metal will be opaque) from home depot/wherever and have them custom fit for your windows. Dark, but not darkroom dark (definitely good enough for sleeping until 3pm).
2-3 windows < $200 |

My friend duck-taped a blanket to his window, it worked but it made his room very hot.
