Answer 1

Ummm, get larger curtains that go a little past your window??

Thats what I did.

Answer 2

Foil or cardboard work well but are ugly. A good outdoor awning might also work.  Try planting a thick tree or shrub in front of the window.

Answer 3

God bless you as well put in some blind then put up dark curtain's with extra lining in them get a air purifier for sleeping at night good luck

Answer 4

Buy some blackout lining from a store which sells curtain fabric and tape it to the frame. If you want to take it down during the day you could maybe pin it, or if you sew, make hems top and bottom and put stretchy wire through.

Answer 5

Reynolds Wrap....Foil. or maybe a BB gun. JUST KIDDING.
