For the past few weeks DD has been trying to stay up later and later because it is so light in her room. So this week I bought her blackout curtains. We have been using them for 2 days now and she is sleeping longer and better. For the past 2 days she slept an hour longer in the morning yay! They were not cheep but I am so glad that we finally broke down and got them. Well worth it so far.

Funny you should post this! I am looking up black out curtains online. 5:45am is too early for me! If the sun is up, so is DD.

Blackout curtains saved our life. Best investment i ever made!

I bought the really cheap ones that have an adhesive strip. They worked great!

Great idea! I am looking into it now, especially since summer vacation is coming up and sleeping in would be nice!

I got Pottery Barn Kids blackout curtains off ebay.    They work wonders!  I was also told about black out film you can put on your windows.  Similar to this but i got it at Lowes.  They carry it at Home Depot too.  I got some because while blackout curtains help a ton, light still comes through.  Plus her room just boils.

I had a difficult time finding them because I wanted white ones and they seem to come in every color but white. I bought just regular white curtains from Walmart and added and Eclipse blackout liner to it. They work great and definitely keep the room darker and cooler which is very helpful in the Florida sun.

I got mine at Walmart. About $6 each. They are like this one:
