Why do you need black-out blinds if you have an eye mask?
- oarsinsync 7y agoMost eye masks are not true blackout, some light still seeps in at the edges. Same deal with blackout blinds unless they're positioned millimetre perfect. Combining the two resolves both edge cases sufficiently well that they cease to matter, and both can now be slightly offset without creating any problems. This is especially useful with the eye mask as it wont stay exactly where it was due to moving in your sleep.

- oarsinsync 7y agoAny form of double layering solves the problem, really. Whether it's double layered at the window, or double layering in discrete locations (windows & eyes), having two distinct solutions with their own strengths and weaknesses can usually resolve edge cases in both. ...this applies to lots of things in IT as well, not just window curtains :-)
