There are a couple of ways you can go about this. I've tried both and made some mistakes, so hopefully you will learn from me.

Firstly, DON'T buy shitty $20 curtains from Wal-Mart/Target/whereever. They will offer some relief, but will typical look like shit and only block maybe ~65% of the light, which is not that helpful. I ended up throwing mine away, was a complete waste of money.

Then I got these bad-boys: http://www.amazon.com/Thermal-Insula...ckout+curtains

They are suck-your-dick at the end of a long day of work amazing. They block out 100% of UV and 99% of light, and actually work as advertised. The only light that I get leaking through these puppies is when the sun is at a certain angle and it will slip through the sides. This is easily fixable and will occur with any curtain.

Here is an example of them in action:

I know game and sleep in perfect darkness.

If there is one person you can trust to get you information on how to make the sun go away, it is a fat/neckbeard/cavedwelling EverQuest player.

Trust me.
Holy shit those do work well. I've been trying to figure out what to do with that area, because I am really tired of the 6:30 sunrise waking me up. I'll probably do curtains, although I really don't like how curtains look with a sliding glass door for whatever reason. I feel like the smaller windows on the left/right are going to be a paint to find well-fitted curtains for.

Do you have Amumu framed on your wall?? #NERDALERT
