If you tend to wake up a few hours early being short on sleep, yet have trouble getting back to sleep, try a sleep mask! They work like magic for me. -- better than any pill! I must have thin eyelids, because when it's dawn and my eyes are closed, I see orange, (my wife sees black). A sleep mask quickly gets me back into a deep, satisfying sleep, as though it were midnight. (It also gets me into a deeper, more productive sleep during limited timeframe naps.) It's like putting a cover over a birdcage, (birds automatically sleep/wake-up when you cover and uncover their cages, like a light switch.) I swear by sleep masks when I need deep, effective sleep within a limited timeframe. I've tried eight different brands -- this one is my favorite, so I've bought two more. It has a decent 1/2 inch elastic band, is the fuzziest and most comforting, fits most comfortably, and most effectively blocks light leaks/diffusion. (Also feels warm and cozy in the winter, yet is still good for summer.) Read more
Very comfortable even when sleeping. The extra “cups” at the bottom shut out light well and are comfortable. Maybe not for large craniums. Read more
Love this! i've been wearing Lewis and Clark eye mask for years. It's very soft and gentle on my face, without touching my eyes. Read more
Go ahead, count all the little lights on in your bedroom at night. Clock, tv, tv box, telephone, night light from the bathroom, and light coming under the door, and don’t forget the full moon. This eye mask is light and lovely. It has a soft ridge so it doesn’t crowd your eyes. You get a much better sleep with it and I never travel without it. Read more
!!!****EDIT:***!!! Before you buy from this listing, check out the one I've linked to. You get two masks for the price of one, and it's still prime-eligible! Definitely wish I had seen that before I purchased mine.: Lewis N. Clark Comfort Eye Mask 2 Pack I chose this mask based on its great reviews and price. After a few nights of use I am indeed very pleased. I LOVE that the clasp is not velcro. Instead it is a well-made insert clasp, and is fully and easily adjustable. This means that as the masks is worn and the straps begin to wear, you'll still be able to tighten it to comfort.The mask itself is very soft and is made with a cushiony row of padding on the interior, right above where your nose would fit. This cushion does an excellent job of keep out light, and also raises the mask in such a position as to pad around your eyes rather than squishing them. I mean I see *nothing,* even when using it during the day. I'm not sure I would describe the fabric as "velour," as the description does, but it is very light, soft, and comfortable. I deducted one star because of the incredible lint-attracting qualities of the fabric. I mean this thing picks up lint like no other. I'd rather have the exterior neutral-toned than change the fabric in any way, and the only colors I saw for this mask were both dark, so I'm not sure that is avoidable. All in all, great comfort for great sleep. I would definitely repurchase. Read more
This product works great. They eventually wear out, but I've been using them for 9 years now and they make a huge difference in sleeping well. I work 3rd shift. People who work 3rd's are more likely to get cancer because lack of sleep really knocks down the immune system. I use these so it's dark and I can get solid sleep. I leave a light on; when my alarm goes off, I raise the mask and the light helps me wake up easily and quickly. Unlike most masks, these have a sort of cushion along the bottom. This blocks light from coming in at the bottom, next to the nose. It makes all the difference in the world! Also, the black ones block light better than the colored ones. Those are pretty, but, to me, it's about getting good sleep and the black masks are just darker. Read more
Very comfortable. Machine-washable. Also helps keep you warm on a cold night. Read more
I will never be without this. I have purchased several of these to ensure I can always find one. It is very comfortable and is great at blocking light. I've tried several other masks and this is by far the best one. Read more
