The window is frosted, and it's position over the tub makes blinds impractical. I'm short enough that the cords would be hard to reach. I thought about those automatic blinds, but those are battery operated. It would take a ladder in the tub to reach the top of the window to replace them. Also impractical.
Option three would be to close my bathroom door so that the light couldn't glare into my bedroom. The hangup there is that I don't like sleeping with that door closed. If I get up shortly before the sun does, I will close the door and that does solve the problem, but it's predicated on my waking up 1) before the sun, but 2) late enough that closing the bathroom door doesn't bother me.
It's a work day when I'm writing this. I had to get up super early and guess what? Cloudy day. It seems as if it is always cloudy on days when I have to get up and sunny on the day I can sleep in.
Is it a big problem? No, and I do love the sunlight that comes with summer. Summer is my favorite season by a long shot and moving to Atlanta didn't change that. While I don't love the heat and humidity, I like it a lot better than the colder weather. I love running around in short sleeves. I love not wearing socks. I love being able to leave my jacket at home.
On the whole, I'd rather deal with the sun waking me up than winter, so I guess that's that.
