I have a cover over my window because it faces the west and I don't want it shining in my room when I am trying to go to sleep. I lay down to bed at 8:00 and the sun is still up then. When it is daytime outside there is hardly any light coming in my window. Right now the most light being ommitted if from the computer monitor and the clock. I like a lot of darkness, but like light now and then, too.

Just like ball pythons
