What happens when the sun hits your face at 8am on a Saturday? If you said you never let that happen, then you probably haven't moved into the dorms yet. The vast majority of college dorms have blinds that let the light stream in early and stay late. If you are up for class on a Tuesday that's fine, but if you're trying to catch up on sleep until noon on Sunday that's a major problem. The only way to ensure dorm sleep goes uninterrupted and you can get your naps in is by adding a Blackout Curtain. As the name indicates they block 99.99% of sun! The addition of Blackout Curtains is pretty easy. The hard part is getting them to hang. Wall holes = illegal: In dorm rooms wall brackets to hang curtains or drapes are illegal. They are illegal because putting holes in your dorm wall is considered destruction of University property. Beyond being illegal it will also result in fines that can't be avoided. Even if you were allowed to hang wall brackets you would have a hard time putting holes in cinder blocks.

How to Hang: The best way to hang your Blackout curtain is with a tension rod. In order to hang your blackout curtain with a tension rod you have to have windows that are set in. If they are set in you will have a wall to hold up the extended tension rod with Blackout Curtain. If your window in not set in then you have to be more creative. curtains almancilPurchase the Blackout Curtain with Grommets and 3M removable wall hooks. asda black tab top curtainsPlace 4-8 removable plastic wall hooks along the wall above your dorm window. dunelm brown eyelet curtainsAfter strategically placing each hook on the wall hang a grommet on each hook and your Blackout Curtain will be in place. eclipsetm kids' kendall rod-pocket blackout curtain panel
