Commercial orders do not qualify. I'd like to make my room as dark as possible and the apartment I live in has streetlights right outside. I rent, so buying expensive curtains doesn't really seem viable. Is there a good, cheap way of making black out curtains, or similar, so that I can darken my room as much as possible? I would also like to be able to open the 'curtains'/windows during the day, to let fresh air and natural light in. An also very easy, cheap and quick solution could be using aluminium foil. Just stick it in front of your windows and your room should be blacked out perfectly! I'd invert the problem and ask if you'd be comfortable wearing a sleep mask such as the ones airlines give you. I'm guessing even premium versions of these are less expensive than any blackout shades or curtains you'd find. Obviously I know nothing about your specific sleep sensitivity, but I've found I sleep like a baby in an earthquake when I wear ear plugs.

Roller shades, the ones that are thick. Some shades outer sides are reflective even. I have one of those. When it is down, no light gets in. The sun can even shine directly at it and nothing. Make sure you pick the one, that doesn't let light come through. Get a roll of black garbage bags and sew them onto the back of your curtains. If it'd get too hot in direct sunlight, try a layer of aluminum foil on top. Or save some pizza boxes, cut & tape them to your window size and place or tape them there. Get some black or very dark cloth - old curtains, tablecloths, anything - sew or pin or tack it into a big sheet. It has to be oversized and you may need several layers to get it light-proof. Now you need a curtain rod; a broomstick, long stick, rod or long piece of wood. Hang the cloth over it. Now get the curtain rod in place. hold it up by more rods (with Vs cut in the end and leaning against the wall), or put it between two tall pieces of furniture, or step ladders, or attach it with wire to any curtain fitments you already have.

Now tuck in and roll up the extra fabric till it's nice and dark. You can fix corners with thumbtacks. All solutions to block light involve attaching some light absorbant material to the inside of your windows. This can be made of any material as long as it is lightproof. Solutions that integrate with the windows such as curtains, shutters, or the like may be too expensive, and they need at least some reconstruction to be made. An easy and very cheap solution that comes to my mind is a cardboard cut to the exact size of your window frame. In case the cardboard becomes shabby we can replace it with the same ease. Make a piece of plywood the size of the window. This can be attached to the window frame using e.g. Velcro strips or attach with hook screws (in case we are allowed to mount them). The plywood could be painted with any color to please our eeyes. What we do in our home is attaching a stretched canvas (as can be mande DIY or obtained in any size from an artist's supply store) having the size of the window opening and sitting on the window sill.

Cover the back with aluminium foil or paint the canvas black for making it 100% opaque. We could even use a custom made photo print on canvas the size of our window. My windows have sills. I like to use 1-2" foam. Either single, or paired and packing-tape connected to make a single panel. It comes in 4x8 sheets, you cut it to fit, and seal the edges with an iron and waxed paper / aluminum foil (because otherwise the edge you cut sheds bits). This blocks light (you may need a bit of squishy foam around the edges for a perfect seal), as well as blocks heat / cold. The panels are removable, so when you want to open the window you can take the panel out, and the window is fine. Unfortunately they've gotten rid of the white-sided stuff, which allowed you to double face it so it was white on both sides - and didn't make your room look ghetto from the outside (and the inside). You can cover the inside with a curtain. The temperature difference is significant on the cooling and heating bills, as well as making the room much more pleasant to be in, temperature-wise - and it's great for light too.

For the garbage-bag solution, some people are using the cheap garbage-bags (which are see-through), you'd want the contractor grade garbage bags which are 3 mils, or 5 mils thick. Line your curtains with blackout liner fabric. There are different styles -- some attach to an existing curtain rod, and some attach to the curtains themselves with hooks. The fabric is also available by the yard at some fabric stores. If you shop around, you could find one on sale for under $10. A sleep mask is a good backup, to mask any stray light that might leak around the edges of the curtain. Heavy duty tape a thick blanket to the wall above the window, and tape the rest of the corners. Pro tip from a guy who has earthquake like migraines. I had the same problem - not sure if my fix will work for you though. My bed has an adjustable frame, so I lowered the spring board all the way down and then fashioned a wooden plank to sit on top of the frame. Then I draped a thick, long quilt over the board, and it completely covers my bed - blocks out all the light and now I use the board/bed as a second desk.
