Ahead of the return of Daylight Saving Time, see listings with blackout shades in the bedrooms

By CityRealty Staff | From Great Listings Thursday, March 9, 2023

This bedroom is bright now, but blackout shades make for a peaceful night's sleep. (53 West 53, #16E - Douglas Elliman)

On Sunday, March 12, much of the country returns to Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. This means later sunsets and more light in the evenings going forward, but after losing an hour of sleep the night that the time change happens. Fortunately, there are a number of measures people can take to enhance their sleep quality, even in the city that never sleeps. Blackout shades block out a significant amount of light, and these listings throughout New York come pre-equipped with them.
