Black out shades are the bomb.com

So when I found out I was going to Alaska... my first thoughts were its summer, so it will be LIGHT all the time. Awesome. Well when I try to go to sleep and its bright, not exactly knowing how hard it would to be able to sleep. The sun goes down around 10:50 pm and it looks like dusk til about 12:30 am. From 12:30 am to about 3:30 its DARK. At 3:30 am, the sun rises. I am very thankful that the National Park housing has black out shades in each bedroom. They are awesome and I don't have any issue falling asleep when it is light outside!

 It is broad daylight outside. Best curtains ever.
