I finally did it! I was able to sleep late and not worry about the sun sneaking around and finding my eyes. I did this by placing a tri-fold wall in front of my window, that way when the sun came in it only hit the wall. That wall blocked the sunlight from me and cast a shadow on my bed allowing me to get a good extra hour or 2 of sleep this morning. This will now be a go to idea for me every time I am able to sleep in! For once it seems like I have beat the sunlight.
