For most of my life, I thought of sleep masks as something only Edith from Overboard wore to bed. Never did I deem them something negative, just never something that was for me.
Call it old age but over the past year or so, light has began to REALLY bother me when I am trying to sleep. I don't mean lights being turned on; of course that would bother anyone. No, I am talking about the small light on our television that shines even though the television is turned off. My husband laughs at me over this but I swear it feels like a neon light is shining in my face. And then there is the hubby. I love that he is motivated enough to wake up at 4:30am to workout. I do not love the light that he turns on in his closet that seems to travel out of his closet, turn a corner, through our bathroom, around another corner and hit me in the face. How I notice this, I do not know, but it still wakes me up. Light at night annoyed me enough that I decided I would try a sleep mask.
MIRACLE PRODUCT. I am now understand why so many people use them. I cannot tell you how much better I am sleeping now that I wear a sleep mask. Sure it took a few nights to get used to having it on but now I cannot even think about going to sleep without it. Just image a Vegas hotel room with the blackout shades. That is what I get to experience every night. No understanding of day or time. It is WONDERFUL. I am now sleeping so deeply that my children have been forced to wake me up over Christmas break at 8:30am or 9am because they were hungry. I am sure there are a few people out there reading this that already use one (you were smart from the start) but I am a new convert. Best $26 I have ever spent.
My favorite ones are by Mary Green. They are 100% silk with cute and simple designs and extremely easy to sleep with. You can find the selection below.
