I used to sleep in a room with a skylight. The natural light was wonderful and it was always nice to have a view of the sky, but being unable to keep the room dark for sleeping was a bit of a drag.
The quality of my sleep was just a bit better in hotel rooms, which tended to have blackout shades. Sleeping in an utterly dark room until you wake up on your own is a little bit of heaven.
Blackout shades – or the metaphor, anyway – are also incredibly useful against those people in your life who drag you down.
If you’re around someone that is constantly criticizing or complaining and you can’t simply walk away, pull the shades on them. Shut them out and shut them down.
