Sleepy Time Tracks Is The Window Blocker Solution You’ve Been Looking For!

Every Blackout Shade Needs The Perfect Partner!

Room darkening window treatments do a great job at blocking light. Little to no light transfers through the shades material. But because shades have to be made a little narrower than your window opening, there will be light gaps. Doesn’t matter if it’s an inside or outside mount You Will Have Light Gaps.

Hi Bob here, as a window treatment installer many people were disappointed with their new blackout shades because light still seeped through along the edges. Didn’t seem like anyone was addressing this issue so I came up with a solution we call Sleepy Time Tracks. They attach along the edges of your existing blackout shades (no need to buy new shades). Since 2006 we have helped thousands of people get the rest they need. I personally guarantee you will be happy with Sleepy Time Tracks.

Great experience overall. Definitely made a big difference in the nursery although our windows are unique sizes and with roller shades there are still a spots where light peeks in through the corners. Took me two tries to get one huge window right, but the company was very responsive by email and worked with me to resolve the issue. Appreciate the great customer service!

My partner and I splurged on Lutron Serena motorized blackout shades for our bathroom and bedroom (4 windows in total). While the shades are indeed blackout, of course we had light seeping in from the sides of the shades. I was thrilled to find these light blockers online and immediately ordered 4 sets of the removable/magnetic version. These light blockers work as advertised and do an amazing job!!! These are 100% worth every penny.

I will add nothing in our 1935 Tudor bungalow is completely plumb - this includes the frames around the windows. While we did clean the frames with rubbing alcohol before attaching the magnetic 3M adhesive strips, they did pull away from the frame in a few places, mostly the bottom 1/3. The solution was to remove the light light blockers, drill tiny pilot holes in the magnetic strip adhered to the frame and use a couple small screws on each magnetic strip (middle of the window frame and within 1 inch of the bottom) with flat heads to ensure they stay in place long term. The light blockers reattached perfectly afterwards. This was super easy to do and enables us to remove the light blockers to tilt the windows in for cleaning when we need to.

Very pleased with our purchase and highly recommend!!
