How do sleep masks work?
A sleep mask is designed to block out light. We all know that too much artificial light can lead to sleeping problems, so if find your phone going off throughout the night or live near a busy area with car lights and streetlights coming through the window, one of these handy masks will definitely help.
What sleep mask is best?
When choosing a sleep mask, there are a few things to consider. First, you want to make sure to get a mask that will fit your face, otherwise it won’t do a very good job of blocking out any light. You also don’t want anything too tight, as this could cause headaches throughout the night. The material is another thing to consider. You want something that will feel soft on the skin, such as cotton or cashmere. Silk is another great option as it reduces friction around the eye area. Lastly, it’s worth considering if you want a mask with additional features, depending on how difficult you find it to drift off.
