Couldn't sleep much because the outside night light in the pole lite up my room through a then shad.
Pros:

My biggest problem was the window shade I pulled down didn't block out the light and the post with an outside light shown though and my room was lite up. I had build a stack of pillows to ine side of my head to block the direct light it was like a bright full moon was shining in through the very thin white pull down shade.
