These three items will keep your hotel room pitch-black.
Ever turn out the lights in your hotel room and then feel as though you’re in the middle of a carnival midway? The smoke detector’s green glow, the TV’s red dot, the bedside clock, the lighted switch on the desk lamp, etc.
Solution: Peel and stick a Light Dim over the offending beams and voila! the offending lights are dimmed. They block 50-80 percent of the light and don’t leave a sticky residue when you remove them. They even have a blackout version, which blocks 100 percent of the light.
Speaking of annoying light…I don’t like it when the sun blasts through the crack in hotel curtains, especially when I’m trying to sleep in after a long flight.
I also don’t like it when somebody can see into my hotel room. I spotted a mini camera in the apartment across the alley trained at my Zurich hotel room window. Creepy!
A binder clip solves the problem: use a medium one to clip the curtains together and enjoy your sleep free from intrusive sunbeams and Peeping Toms.

And if you didn’t bring binder clips, a hanger will do! This one blended in nicely with my room’s decor. 😉
Twist’s Take: For less than $10, make your hotel room a dark, private cave.
