No alarm clock here. :) But I'm convincing my husband
to let me cover the bedroom windows. That street
light, shining in, has bothered me even before this!

As of now - I'm going to bed at 9 PM, so that takes
care of tv/computer. :) Not that it's hard for me to
do this. I get up early and "run down" in the
evenings, as a rule.

THIS sounds 'doable'!

The only way I can do this personally, is to go to bed
myself. My husband insists he needs to stay up till
midnight, with lights on, in order to sleep in bed.

Don't know my latitude off hand, but it IS a long
night, in the NE of the US.
Thank you so much, for replying to my post!
