British Columbia has stayed on summer time since March 8, 2026 and doesn't set its clocks back in the fall any more, so winter sunrises in Vancouver come an hour later on the clock than they used to. The times below use that.

Your own hours
These numbers are for an 11 PM to 7 AM sleep. For your own bedtime, a night shift or a different date, use the sunrise calculator for Vancouver.
If the number in the last column is above zero, that light is coming through the glass. Our Blackout Blind goes up on the window glass with suction cups, no drill. For the rest of the room, read how to make a bedroom pitch black.
If your window gets the sun early, the whole blackout range is in the blackout collection. The Blackout Eye Mask is the quick answer if you only need your eyes covered, at home or travelling.
How it's worked out: NOAA's solar equations, for the moment the top edge of the sun crosses the horizon, at 49.25, -123.119 (GeoNames). Times are local clock time. It counts sunrise to sunset only, the sky starts getting light a little before sunrise.
