🌚Dark Hallway🌚
So you have spent time and money making your child’s room dark. Finally, you can relax knowing it’s dark enough for them to sleep.
Then they cry.
So you go into them and as you open the door, BAM! Daylight floods the room! Game over. It’s time to get up as they aren’t going back to sleep now 🤦🏽♀️
Middle of the day this isn’t a problem, but 5am early wake ups – not so good.
Equally, if you have a child who leaves their room in the early hours of the morning to go to the toilet, it will take a lot of convincing to go back to sleep when they know it’s light outside!
Now I don’t suggest you make your hallway pitch black but if you can make it darker, either with a blind over the front door or some sort of curtains over any large hallway windows, this will really help!
When we stay at my in-laws, we can’t make the hallway dark as it isn’t our house 😅 so when going in and out of my youngest’s room, my husband stands there with a large blackout travel blind whilst I run in and out so as to not flood the room with too much light 😅
It’s a juggle, especially in the summer months when it’s lighter late at night and earlier in the morning, but it really will help 🌚❤️
The picture above is of my hall, stairs and landing. You can see the blackout blind over the front door stops quite a bit of light coming in and the landing outside the boys’ bedrooms is very dark!
Good luck!
