Man come on this man deserves a trophy he didn’t waste my time he got right into it

My husband works nights and he’s having trouble sleeping in the day time. I’m going to try and do this while he’s at work tonight. Thanks ☺️

Thanks bro I work night shift and this absolutely worked 😂👍

So, I did this and it works fine. Except when it comes time to removing it after being on a month, it leaves behind a stain on the windows, that is VERY hard to get off. The aluminium reacts with the sunlight so I just found out today, and leaves a stained pattern. Googling how to get rid of it came up with very little you can do about it. In fact, I can even see the stain on his windows, which he did not mention for some bizarre reason, and I WISH I had known this beforehand. This may be fine if this is your window in your home, but if you are renting, beware.

I work nights and I start sleeping in my closet because of the sunlight. Now I’m definitely going to try this. Thanks.

As a light sensitive individual with autism spectrum disorder, I hearby nominate this video for the Nobel Peace Prize 🏆

Dude! I cannot thank you enough, I just finished doing this to my bedroom windows and it is now pitch black without the curtains closed. Thank you so much, also I decided to use windex instead of water because I thought it would reduce the chance of mould growing.

Nice, simple, straight to the point and no mucking about.

I worked nights for years and this is exactly what I did...don't think I would have lasted long without it.

This was incredibly helpful. I have renters staying at a house that has a ton on sunlight in the bedroom, and it is getting their 3 year old up at 5 a.m. -- not fun! You have saved their vacation and probably gotten me a repeat renter. Thanks, Mate!

Thank you so much. I'm about to start night shifts at a hospital and this is exactly what I needed. You've earned yourself a sub.

Straight to the point,smart and so much helpful! Thanks a ton, dude.

Lord Willing, I’m going to Dollar Tree and buying all the Aluminum Foil. Plus, duct tape. I plan on leaving mine up for a while! 😉

Umbloodybelievable,,!! Ive been sticky tapeing black liner bags to the windows in my bedroom for years and its unsightly but its dark, this is a pro job, looks great , easy, thanks mate, your a ledgend😉

i’m going to try this tomorrow as this seems to be a very good solution, i’ll update you guys. UPDATE: it worked really well! i have blinds not curtains but it still ended up working really well!

We’re traveling with a baby in December, and I’ve been looking at making my own blackout shade, because the kind you can buy are so dang expensive. I think I’ll give this a try instead! Thanks for sharing!

OMG, i tried doing this technique and it really worked! Now I can now have my life back. ❤️❤️❤️ It is indeed a life saver. Thanks a lot!

I lived a full year with light in my room after my blinds broke you are a life saver no more waiting till dark for my room to be nice and dark 😭😭😭

simple, straight forward and helpful. perfect video mate. cheers

If you don't want to use water because of mould or staining you can use blue tack instead, its what ive done and works great

Lmao. So I live in an HOA community and my room is on the second floor of my house with 3 windows and it always gets molested by the sun for 8-9 hours of the day until the sun starts to set and I tried doing this only to receive a letter from my HOA community stating that “it’s probably just an oversight , but it has come to our attention that one or more cosmetic finishes to your home are in violation of our policy. Please correct the violation to avoid having to pay any future fees.” I live in an otherwise good looking neighborhood and it’s HOA so as you know they’re really strict about the way their community looks. They basically told me my aluminum foil made the neighborhood looked ghetto and to take that shit down before I get some fuckin fees to pay for it. Meanwhile all of my neighbors kids get to leave their scooters, bikes and skateboards littered across the street overnight with no one telling them Jack

Bro, this is genius. I need my workshop dark for short periods to use a projector. Thanks so much.

My cannabis and I would like to thank you for your expertise 👏

You method worked to transform my guest room into a 5-day “darkness retreat” for myself, which was transformative. My white PVC window frames slightly glowed from sunlight so I added foil, held on by painters tape over the frames.

Wow! Surprising and excellent solution! Thank you!

This is a great idea, thanks for sharing it. So easy and simple to get the room darker.

You are now a legend in my house! When I grow up I wanna be like you ❤

i thank you for the great easy method, since autism makes my senses super hyped, an indoor cat who was struggling to stay cool during our 2nd heatwave also thanks you, sadly the ignorant neighbours who called the police and reported me to the housing department doesn't lol. Had to buy a 50 dollar fan instead but sadly not as good. 10 days of a pitch dark living room, great fun, cool temp, theatre vibes when watching movies, and cats got to run around again during day time! Always do whats best for self and family, leaving other peoples opinions at the bottom of the list.

I worked nights for 12 yrs straight. This does work. It’s especially good if you rent, or do not want to invest in expensive blockout shades and curtains.

Mate, you made my day, night sun is killing me in Norway, will try this tomorrow, thank you so much

Whoa! It's that simple!!!??? This is in fact something I can even do if I'm over at another person's place and cannot sleep well. I need total darkness and silence and this is definitely a life changer

Omg this guy is a legend haha thank you 😉 The heat is too much right now. Go Aussie

I'm an animator and I've been having trouble meeting deadlines because I only animate at night, to reduce natural light. Now I can not waste my day dreaming about what I could be doing and actually get on with it!

Hey, update to my last comment saying thanks. Just an FYI for people, especially in cold areas. Yesterday I did the foil trick, an hour later I heard a smash. It seems the sun hitting the foil cause a heat reaction and cracked the window. I’m in Alberta Canada in -20c so most won’t have this issue.

Amazing. You just did it

Thats so great ill just do this every night before i go to sleep :)

Scare off the neighbours noisey kids AND keep the light out! It's a win win. Seriously though this is the most affordable, non damaging and effective method I've ever seen. If the missus would go for this I'd do it in a flash.

ThNk you!!!! my three year old daughter has been waking up way too early because of the sun. Just wanted to let you know that work out perfectly!

All the night shifters are loving you right now mate!

I got an extreme light sensitivity issue and I'm AUDHD! I also happen to have foil around, this is great. Tyy!!

Yo thanks mate, I’m getting one of those realistic lookin lightsabers for Christmas, and me room ain’t that dark in the day even with the blinds down, so this should help a lot!

Why cant people like this have 100million subs. Thank you for the video!

I did this year's ago when I first moved into a new apartment and my furniture was not shipped yet, and I was sleeping in the living room with a large glass balcony slider doors. A few days later had the super demand to bring it down becaus it looked very hideous lol but it was very dark

I must admit, this is brilliant mate!

I just love you this simple and inexpensive ideal 🥰. I have plenty foil and Windex. I'm gonna do this tonight😂. Stay blessed and safe 💞.

Man, I've been trying to get my movie room dark for 12 years and it's this easy?

Oh my god, I can’t thank u enough for this video 🙏🙏🙏

Great video, as a night shifter I’ll definitely be trying this!

THE MOST INFORMATIVE VID LIKE I JUST WROTE KEYWORDS AND HAVE MANY CONDITIONS IN MIND AND IT WILL TAKE MUCH SEARCHING BUUUUUT THIS 1st SHOWED VID WAS ON POINT IT JUST SHOWED WHAT I EXACTLY NEEDED AND COULDN'T PUT INTO WORDS THAAANK YOU SO MUCH!

I tried this and it worked. But after awhile i wanted the light to come in when I wanted it and blocked when I didn't want it. Eventually I found these little strips and so far it's been working pretty good. they are called sleepy time tracks

Oh my god man you're a life saver why didn't I think of this. My hero

I had the most tedious set up for blocking my blinds, thanks mate!

That's brilliant!! Thank you for sharing!

Good video thanks, I did that method years ago but didn't apply water, so thanks for the tip

thank you so much for sharing, I will definitely try this! But the only issue is, if you want the light to come inside your bedroom during the day, you need to remove the foils and at night put them on doing it every day can be quite frustrating, but this is definitely something I can use temporarily until I figure out another solution...but if anyone has good solutions that can blackout a room at night but bring light in during the day, I would love to hear it! Thank you!!!

Excellent tip there mate . Thanks for that.

brilliant, thanks for making this video

In America that’s a sign of a crack house

👀Ah Mah Gah! Gonna do this Right NOW! Thank You Thank You Thank You for this Uber Simple but Brilliant idea..can't believe i never thought of it..must be cos it's too easy. BLESS YOU, man

Pro tip; cut some wood boards to shape to the window & wrap the board with foil so if you need to take it off, you can so you don't have to clean the windows.

THANKS, I DIDNT KNOW THAT. I WILL TRY IT. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS I WONT BE ABLE TO SEE OUT BUT THATS OK, I CAN GO TO A WINDOW IN ANOTHER ROOM FOR THAT.

Wow!! Thank you for this!! What an awesome idea

Bro this is genius! I’m doing it immediately 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I tried aluminum foil. I don't know why I didn't think about spraying water to make it stick. Thanks for the tip

I must try. I just bought curtains and didn't realize they're not the ones I needed until AFTER I put them up 🤦🏼‍♀️

Easy and nice

Genius idea!!! 🙏🏽 Thank you so much for sharing!

I always wanted to tin foil every single window in my entire house. Wonder what the neighbors would think

Thank you. We are only getting a few hours without sunlight at the minute and I can't sleep well. I will definitely try this!

Brilliant! You are a life saver 🙏🏽

This is frikin genius - thank you!!!

Inwas thinking can't inuse foil to reflect and bam there you go!!! Amazing!!

Excellent, great kaizen

Mannnnnn!!! You’re a genius!!!

Thank you so much man!

This is insane how easy, simple, and cheap (basically free)... Also there isn't any sticky or difficult adhesive

That surprisingly worked mate !!! Thanksss. Cheers 🍻

Superb video. Gonna try this. Fed up with the light waking me early 👍👍

Not free but very cheap and the one which I can adopt immediately since I work during nights

How long it sticks on window?

great job thanks for sharing!!

Right on bud, cheers!

I used this with my first apartment, it kept it cooler too

This is genius!

not gonna lie I expected him to go on a long rant before he got into it, not saying he looks like the stalling type, it was just a feeling I got, but he got in the gist of it pretty fast

Do u have to sticky tape it after applying the foil or does it stay in place after the water dries up?

"Look at that" LOL the way he said that

To reflect sun, face shiny side out..

Very awesome

OMG. This is brilliant

This is amazing thank you 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

thx, for someone who despises the sun, this really saves the day.

dudes gonna survive the scp-001 when day breaks event

Dude this is brilliant, this works so well

Genius!

thanks man this was right to the point and very helpful !

Doing this! Thanks!

Totally awesome idea!!! Hurray!!!!

Absolute legend
