A question about night-lighting

Hello,

I have just read your book "Honoring Our Cycles," and I have a question about using the "night-lighting" technique to regulate my menstrual cycle. I have a very bright streetlight outside and my black-out curtains don't make the room entirely dark. Will night-lighting have the same effect if I use a sleeping mask to block out the light from my eyes, or is it necessary that my entire body be surrounded by complete darkness?

Thanks!

I'm not sure. I think the eye mask should give you what you need. If you can afford it, there are room-darkening honeycomb blinds made with mylar; I'm also looking into roll-down blinds that might be available at places like Home Depot. I have also had good experience with flattened cardboard between the window and the existing blind.

Best of luck,

Katie Singer
