you have my attention. i'll never sleep again.

so.... our vacation home a 'circle top' window (thank you, 80s) that is uncovered. yet we sleep later there than at home, even on a weekend. i think its because our bed is directly under the window, and when you sleep your neck tends to make you look toward your toes. anyway, we are looking AWAY from the arriving dawn. at home our bed is opposite the window, so we are naturally directing our eyes toward the window.

if you can at all rearrange your layout you should give this a try.

oh, and my adult daughter swears by those black masks the airlines give you, you should try them too before you do any expensive window treatments.

Hunter Douglas shades are wonderful and have a warranty. Expensive, but the best!

As @juliwold said, seek a qualified Hunter Douglas dealer in your area and have it done right. They will tell you things about room darkening shades you would have not considered and assist with the right solution, color and installation.

Buy local and keep the money in your community.

Thanks for the comments. We can't really change the position of the bed and, yes, I've already ordered two sleep masks as a temporary fix until we get the shades. Will check out the Levolors at Lowe's tomorrow.

I have Hunter Douglas and love the quality. They were expensive but worth it.
