Why use a sleep mask?

Many people struggle to fall asleep at night, and one of the biggest reasons is light pollution. Sleep masks are an effective solution for blocking out light and creating a dark environment that helps your brain relax and fall asleep faster.

Different types of sleep masks

Foam sleep masks

These masks are made from soft foam and cover the eyes completely, providing strong light blocking.

Contoured sleep masks

Contoured masks are designed to fit closely around the eyes and face, creating a dark “pocket” for the eyes. That makes it easier to open and close your eyes while you sleep.

Fabric sleep masks

Fabric sleep masks are made from a soft, comfortable material that can be either natural or synthetic. They’re light and breathable, which makes them ideal for warm nights.

2. Fit: Make sure the mask fits well around your face without being too tight.
3. Light blocking: Choose a sleep mask that effectively blocks light to create a dark environment.
