Probably best to get some heavy blackout lined curtains if you really need darkness then. When I've fitted the u channel it's seemed very very dark in the rooms but once your eyes adjust to the darkness it's likely that you will still detect some light leakage.

roman blinds and blackout curtains still gives so much light haha. i'm kind of over it though, i'm sure i can train myself to deal with it eventually. The bay is tricky for bleed around the edges but I'm going to bury magnets in the wall, and sew some into the curtain, to hold it a bit tighter. My interim method of command-stripping a steel ruler to the wall, with magnets on the outside of the curtain, isnt that great

I pretty much require 100% darkness and silence to sleep, which has been a problem for a while with a snoring SO – and now we've finally moved up to somewhere with two bedrooms the house is [oh woe is me] bathed in glorious sunshine from every angle by 4am. There are worse problems to have, I'll just not sleep in summer I reckon. Stupid bay windows.
