My bedroom window faces due East. In the winter, this is not a problem. However, this time of year I've got full sun coming straight in my bedroom in the wee hours of the morning. I also have light coming in until after 12:30 at night. (I don't know when it gets dark, I can't stay up that late anymore.) For all intents and purposes, it's light all the time for me. This makes sleeping hard.
I finally put tin foil up over my bedroom window. I was thinking it looked a bit white-trash, until I realized that from the outside, one would have to look across a dead, rusted out pickup truck to even see it. And then I felt better.
Okay, a disclaimer: This is not my town. For starters, our sun actually goes down, for a couple hours in the summer, but it never gets dark. Also, we are still frozen solid up here. But this picture gives a pretty good idea of what "sunset" looks like once you go about 20 miles North.
