  • A motion sensor and street light installed in front of a house.
  • My neighbor’s motion sensor light turns my bedroom into a football stadium at 2am and his solution was get better curtains.

    Been waking up every night this week because Derek next door installed an industrial strength motion sensor light aimed directly at my bedroom window.
  • A single cat walking past his driveway at 3am and suddenly I'm living inside a lighthouse
  • I knocked on his door, stayed calm, explained everything nicely. His exact words? Maybe you should get better curtains.
  • Six years of being the perfect neighbor. Shoveling his driveway. Keeping noise down. And this man looked me d d in the eye and made it my problem.
  • Image is representative only and does not depict the actual subjects of the story.
  • I bought the curtains. Now my room feels like a bunker. And apparently I'M the difficult one for not smiling about it.
  • Has anyone actually dealt with this or do I just accept that I live in a stadium now?
  • Itidder He just made your shoveling easier.
  • AffectionateZone7291 Original Poster's Reply Honestly at this point the light is doing double duty ruining my sleep and illuminating my completely unpaid labor for a man who told me to buy better curtains.
  • bbqmaster54 Check your city, county and state laws on light pollution. Just as with poise lights also have restrictions. Research is your friend. Good luck with it.
  • AffectionateZone7291 Original Poster's Reply Thank you genuinely. Research IS my friend apparently and I've been sleeping on it.
  • wisowski Why not get one too and point it at his house?
  • AffectionateZone7291 Original Poster's Reply The only reason I haven't done it yet is because I googled light pollution laws twenty minutes ago after someone in this thread tipped me off and apparently I might have an actual legal case here.
  • Winter-Sherbet-2537 I'd be buying one and pointing it directly at one of their windows.
  • AffectionateZone7291 Original Poster's Reply The fact that this is the most universally agreed upon solution in this entire thread is sending me lol.
  • BlissKitten Mirror pointed directly at his windows. Reflect that nonsense right back at him
  • procrastinatorsuprem Sounds like next winter will be a lot easier on your back.
