Am I the only one would prefers the place to be very very bright (not white light, but lots of warm lights)? At least when I want to be awake... night time needs to be super dark for sleeping and being restful, the morning needs brightness to get me up or I feel in a funk. It may also be exacerbated from the 'comedown' of my meds, but if I had electric blinds again or if I could have someone open my curtains for me in the morning to get me up, I would definitely do it.
I like sunlight but I work on a computer. The light from the window hurts my eyes while looking at the screen. So my blinds are only open when I'm not working or entertaining myself at my computer, and if that's the case I usually am in another room, outside, etc.
