Prepare to enter the heart of darkness

Here are a few things to consider when purchasing these blackout curtains: The room turns into a black hole of the Darkness that devours both soul and body. I can't even describe the space I was in as black, it was a much deeper, almost limitless effect. Sensory deprivation will be in a few minutes. You'll lose all sense of what's up and down and you'll feel like you're floating in space. After spending 10 hours in a room with blackout curtains, my other senses were heightened. I heard the pounding of ants crawling on the ground. A mosquito buzzed near my ear and it sounded like the roar of a Boeing 747 just a few feet above my head. I took a Tick-Tock from my pocket and it tasted like I'd just chipped a block of arctic glacier off the Black Sea. When I touched the wall, it was less of a touch and more of a merging of two souls into one. The problem is when you open the curtains. Even though it was midnight, a faint starry sky almost burned my retinas. The most important advice is that you should gradually bring the light back into your life. I would recommend getting a night light and using it as your only light source for a few days after being in a curtained room. This will help you integrate back into the normal world of light. I can't recommend it highly enough. Unfortunately we had to go back because my wife didn't like the color (which I loved).
