Mine got stuck so it wouldn't roll down anymore. I thought, well it can not be that bad since many poeple sleep with bright lights on, Tv on, or with the sun shining into their room trough their super thin curtains. Oh was I wrong.... I felt like even the smallest light pierced through my closed eyelids and it felt so terrible once the sun rose. I would instantly wake up and couldn't get back to sleep. My first thought was: wow i REALLY NEEDED complete darkness but for me, until then, it was just normal to sleep in a pitch black room. But I learned that it is NOT, it is a fucking privilege 😂 still isn't fixed but I use a sleep mask so....yeah i kinda got used to it now but i will forever appreciate the sleep i had in absolute darkness. It kinda makes you light sensitive though. Sometimes I would go outside and just be overwhelmed with especially sun or even snow cause it was so bright. I don't have that anymore since my Rollos stopped working😂 maybe i should fix that and enjoy my wonderful sleep in darkness again.....hmmmm

The kids in Germany often have a nightlight... as Babies they are in this darkness, but they do definitely have a term where they are afraid. But also often they had into their parents rooms cuddle up and are fine with darkness. Latest with 10 they're so used to that they have problems to sleep without. It keeps not only 100% of the light outside, but also most noise... a huge storm/hurricane might rattle a lot, but otherwise you won't hear anything. Only if someone would try to break in - and as they are built-in the house with brick and cement aa well as often go into the ground... made of metall covered with hard plastic, someone would need quite some time even with a saw to break them... It's in almost any appartement, even rentals... mostly manual, so always usable. Fancier are the electric ones

The best thing about these is they won't heat up the room if the sun hits them, since they are on the outside

True... But do make sure the window is closed! They're designed so air will circulate behind them, but if you leave the window open and especially if you have lower pressure inside due to air sucking system (whatever you call it in English 😂) you will suck in all the air that gets heated by the hot metal. Netherlands agrees with Germany though, these things are awesome. I sleep much better since I got them installed too (I have a street lantern right outside my bedroom window and regular curtains could never really block it out completely...)
