I (Emma) personally swear by this eye mask! Living in a super bright area, closing the window curtains makes me irrationally sad. So, to solve this problem, I use these eye masks to help me sleep. They effectively block out all the light, creating a pitch-black environment and making it feel like the lights have gone out in the universe. What’s great about these eye masks is that they also work wonders on days when your work schedule is inconsistent or when you need to take a daytime nap. Not only do they provide complete darkness, but their contouring design ensures that they won’t smudge your mascara if you’re wearing any. Moreover, these eye masks are incredibly comfortable to wear and never get caught in my hair, even when I’m not wearing a ponytail.
Promising review: “I never thought I would need a sleep mask because I didn’t require complete darkness. However, the pandemic and the associated anxiety messed up my sleep in a major way. Often, I would fall asleep easily but wake up later, unable to go back to sleep. Despite trying various remedies like reducing caffeine, establishing a regular bedtime, avoiding screens before bed, and even taking melatonin, it seemed to be more of a mental issue for me. But when I woke up feeling anxious, heart racing, and sweaty, being unable to see anything due to the mask helped me calm down and settle back into sleep. It’s like wearing the mask reminded me to close my eyes and sleep. And it worked until the alarm goes off. I especially appreciate the molded cups around the eyes because a flat mask would make me feel like I’m rubbing off all my eye cream and lash serum throughout the night. Although I haven’t washed the mask yet, I believe it will hold up well with gentle hand washing. The adjustable band is also soft and doesn’t slip out of place. If you’re hesitant about trying a sleep mask, I highly recommend giving this high-quality one a try! Especially if you’re dealing with anxiety like me.” — Anna
