The right curtains can help make your bedroom a dark and welcoming place for sleep. Pexels

Sometimes, no matter how beautiful the sunrise, you just want to get some sleep. While there are ample products to help you fall asleep at night, there are only a few effective products to assist in helping you sleep when the day shines loudly. Our favorite option is covering the windows with blackout curtains.

NICETOWN White 100% Blackout Lined Curtains, 2 Thick Layers Completely Blackout Window Treatment Thermal Insulated Drapes for Kitchen/Bedroom (1 Pair, 52 inches Width x 63 inches Length Each Panel)

Dual purpose

These are so thick that not only do they keep out most of the light, but they also eliminate twice the street noise of other products NICETOWN

Easy to hang on a cafe rod, the large grommet design across the tops of the two-package of curtains adds a nice element of style. Fitting most standard size windows, each panel is 52-inches wide and 63-inches long. The soft white fabric adds lightness to the interior while keeping the light out. White also disguises the thick, dark, insulating panels that make these blackout curtains so great at keeping the external lights and sounds from bothering your family at bedtime. Both of them can hang nicely side by side, covering an 8-foot wide opening.
