I never had to do the aluminum trick. The tents could get pretty dark and the B-Huts weren't too bad for light. Once upon a time, I ended up with a former storage room converted to a private room. It was inside a warehouse with my a/c-heater exhausting into the warehouse. The warehouse had doors that sealed up pretty well so even sandstorms didn't bother my a/c-heater. And yea, walking during a bright day as a night shifter made for stumbling and squinting for sure. My safety net was just a normal water bottle. I'd always clear out the evidence on my walk into work. Now imagine how many water/Gatorade bottles are lying in the desert garbage dump with what looks like apple juice.
