Do you find it hard to fall (or stay) asleep in a room that is too bright? You're not alone. Whether you're traveling and need to sleep on the go, dealing with summer nights or need a nap during the day, a good sleep mask can mean the difference between getting a good rest and tossing and turning.
Being able to block out light when you sleep, including light from digital devices, is important. It's a scientific fact that light affects our sleep and wake patterns. So, feeling that you need darkness to fall asleep isn't just a mental preoccupation. That said, we can't always control our environment — while blackout curtains are ideal, sleep masks are often a more convenient and practical solution.
