Some background: I live in a college dorm and happened to get a room with a window directly across a street lamp post. The blinds that came with the room block only a tiny fraction of the light at night and my sleep is already suffering. I tried a sleep mask but the light is so strong that still a good amount filters through the edges of the mask.
I am not allowed to drill any holes on the wall and since I am out of state, don't have any tools other than a basic multi tool that comes with a screwdriver (also, I don't plan to spend money on a drill that I will eventually have to get rid off). Are there any easy to install "curtains" that I can just clip onto the wall or something?
My ideas so far:
- Measuring the window and getting a big cardboard piece that fits it just right. Then, paint one side black and put it against the window before I go to sleep.
- Getting thumbtacks and just pinning sheets against the wall and tying them together like this whenever I want daylight coming into the room.
I am just looking for a better alternative than these. Otherwise, what would the best way get a cardboard to fit the size of my window (approx. 6 ft. tall by 4 ft. wide)? Should I just buy some cardboard boxes and duct tape them together?
