Light blocking curtains may be selectively transitioned between a deployed configuration and a stowed configuration. The light blocking curtain may include a curtain body and a curtain header, and may be folded along respective curtain body pleats and header pleats in the stowed configuration. The curtain header may extend vertically from the upper end region of the light blocking curtain towards the lower end region of the light blocking curtain, though the curtain header may be substantially vertically shorter than the curtain body. The curtain header also may include a plurality of light blocking panels that are coupled to or integrally formed with the curtain header. Each light blocking panel may be positioned with respect to two adjacent segments of the curtain header, adjacent a top edge of the light blocking curtain, such that the light blocking panels may prevent or reduce light leak along the top edge.
