  1. put electrical tape over the light
  2. what about one of the blind folds women wear to bed. You could probably find them at Bed and Bath or Bath and Body or some place like that. Good Luck! and maybe it would even entice your bf to bed ;)
  3. Drives me crazy too. Just toss a shirt or towel over it to block the light.
  4. You can get what is like a "glare shield" for the monitor which might help some. It cuts down the glare on the screen, it might cut it down enough to let you sleep. If that doesn't work, tell him it's bedtime..lol Good Luck
  5. Invest in a good sleep mask preferably a dark color. Also, if you experience a problem with speakers or the sound bothering you, buy a everyday ordinary headphones. Depending on the length of the cord you may need to purchase a extension cord (for comfort). My boyfriend used to have the computer in the bedroom for a couple of years until we moved, then the computer moved downstairs.
  6. Just put a sheet or something over it.
  7. You aren't going to be able to cover it, light will diffuse through a dark room. As long as you are sleeping in the bedroom he isn't going to think it really bothers you all that much. When he turns it on, go sleep somewhere else in the house. That will make him realize that it IS bothering you, you aren't just complaining, and he will either move the computer to another spot in the house, or turn the thing off when you need to sleep. It's your space too, you should be able to make yourself comfortable there. I don't think he realizes he's being an inconsiderate p***k.
  8. why dont u just turn the monitor off.....it has nothing to do with keeping the computer on....it just means that light won't be bugging you!! I know, i had the same problem...and now i sleep easy!
  9. Stick a piece of blue tack over the light, or get an piece of material you really like and drap it over the monitor, that why the light is blocked and it looks nice.
  10. F**K him so good he will not want to be on the computer because he will be to sleepy.
