I'm not sure if this is the right place to talk about drapes. I'm looking to get some blackout drapes because my circadian center is a fucking wuss and won't let me sleep through even the tiniest light exposure. These blackout curtains would preferably be under 50 CAD, and available here in Canada.
I'm coming here for advice because I can't find any fucking reviews for blackout curtains. All the results on Google, Duckduckgo, Bing, it's all fucking commercial results. Does no one buy blackout curtains and then think to write a review so that other insomniacs can avoid wasting their dollers? I haven't slept in almost 48 hours and these goddamn curtains fucking sfufjsifidfsrewtrewopijpijrw

Foil on the inside of the glass causes the glass to heat up. Uneven heating cause by shadows or creases in the foil can cause the glass to crack.
get a mylar tent and cut it up

That is such a specific issue of such improbability of happening, you might as well never leave the house because of car accidents might happen, etc etc

It has been known to happen. Better to know the risks before you take them.
if the curtains are thick enough try things like putting them to the wall end of the rod holder to get them right on the window or even secure the curtain to the walls. blackout curtains still let light in around the edge. i use foil for when i do nightshift but have often thought of cutting a piece of ply board to size and securing within the window frame.
