Dorm room blinds do not sufficiently block out light, leading to light exposure while sleeping. Our device is an adjustable product that attaches to the sides and top of a window to block the light from all angles. It includes adjustable Velcro pieces to fit different windows and attaches to the window frame with command strips. It uses magnets to seal the sides of a blind shut and easily opens and closes.
