About Us

Welcome to Sleepy Time Tracks! We are dedicated to providing effective and simple solutions for blocking light gaps in blackout shades, creating a peaceful, dark environment for better sleep and comfort. Our journey began when Robert, the inventor of Sleepy Time Tracks, noticed a common issue among customers: even with blackout shades, light continued to leak through the sides, disrupting sleep.

With over 20 years of experience installing window treatments, Robert decided to take matters into his own hands. His goal was to create a product that was affordable, easy to install, and effective at blocking light. Thus, Sleepy Time Tracks were born—a unique design specifically crafted to block up to 97% of light along the edges of your shades.

Our products, including L-Tracks, Channel-Tracks, Top-Tracks, and our latest Extension pieces, provide versatile, customizable solutions for different window treatments. Whether you’re using roller shades, cellular shades, or any other type of blackout blinds, Sleepy Time Tracks can help eliminate the light gaps that prevent you from achieving complete darkness.

Why Choose Sleepy Time Tracks?

  • Easy Installation: No tools required! Our tracks are self-adhesive and can be easily cut to fit your window size with utility scissors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What problem does Sleepy Time Tracks solve?

Our products close the light gaps along the sides, top, and corners of blackout shades or blinds. This helps create a darker room, so sleep isn’t interrupted by leaking light.

Do I need to replace my existing blackout shades?

No. Sleepy Time Tracks are add-on components designed to work with your current roller, cellular, or blackout blinds, helping you keep the setup you already trust and avoid unnecessary expenses.

How much light can the tracks block?

The edge tracks are engineered to block up to 97% of light, greatly reducing light bleed around your existing shades when installed correctly.

What window coverings are compatible with Sleepy Time Tracks?

The tracks support a wide range, including roller shades, cellular shades, and blackout blinds. They can also work with sliding door blinds, as long as the surface allows clean adhesion.

What types of track components do you offer?

We provide multiple formats like L-tracks, channel-tracks, top-tracks, and extension edge pieces. Each type is designed to adapt to varying window frames and shade styles.

Will this help with light sensitivity or shift-based sleep schedules?

Yes. Many customers use our tracks to manage daylight sensitivity, seasonal daylight changes, or to support darker sleep environments for shift workers, parents, and light-sensitive sleepers.

Are the materials safe and durable for home use?

Yes. The components are designed for indoor use, safe wall adhesion, and long-term room darkening performance when installed on clean, dry, and smooth surfaces.

Do you offer support if I’m unsure what to choose?

Of course! You can reach our support team via email or phone. We’re happy to guide you to the best track configuration for your windows and sleep space.
