I see the headlines now: "Fart stink during sleep impairs cardiometabolic function." So yeah, guess the wife is getting diabetes if I don't move to the dog house.

I put them on... most things. Network gear LEDs. Power LEDs. All manner of things.

Oh my those are some fun images! The art on a lot of Amazon listings are just hillarious. Some are down right creepy. The 6th image for this listing has a very intersting bit of text on the screen in what I'm guessing a slide in a deck??? My favorites are the ones where the "product" is just photoshopped in with Escher level physics required to make it believable.

You can buy some self-adhesive light attenuating film. They sell it in pre-cut shapes, in black (several strengths), white and silver. The name brand that started it all was, "LightDims". I put them on... most things. Network gear LEDs. Power LEDs. All manner of things.

There was a time when it seemed like every new device had to have an always-on blue LED. Escaping blue light at night was an effort. These days small white LEDs are in fashion, which I find much more tolerable.
A big of black gaffers tape takes care of that for me. Electrical tape in a pinch. If I use white gaffers tape, it significantly cuts the light but is still visible when I'm looking right at it.

Could you suggest one? Maybe one that doesn't uncomfortably push your eyeballs in

#28This article refers to "moderate" (100 lx) light exposure - this amounts to an overhead light on in the room for the entire duration of sleep. I would say an overhead light is a significant amount of light, but wonder how low the threshold is for sleep disruptions. Living in an urban environment, there's a non-negligible amount of ambient light that makes its way in. I don't use a set of blackout curtains, but I know…

And our only source of light at night prior was a street light outside our bedroom window.

Recently bought some Hue smart lights to simulate sunrise with blackout curtains which is helping. Next up, motorized blinds that open at a scheduled time.
