Charlie has had blackout blinds in his room since he was pretty much a newborn, and they keep his room almost pitch black. Olive's room has two big windows with the sun shining through them but she has blackout curtains, so some light escapes through the sides. Lately she's been waking up earlier because she's looking at the light.

I'm debating whether I should get blackout blinds. On the one hand, I want her to get used to sleeping with some light. On the other hand she might sleep better if her room is darker.

Do you have blackout shades in your lo's room? Just how dark are they?
