Sleep mask

[enidblythe]

Help me get some sleep! I can’t cope with the light mornings - I love summer but I m sleep deprived.
can you recommend your favourite tried and tested sleep mask, good coverage not too tight doesn’t slip off durning the night and helps with darkness and improving sleep, please ?! Thanks

I have the same problem, such a pain! Got some blackout temporary blinds from Amazon which has solved the problem. They are great , just cut to size and you can put them on the window using Velcro or suction cups. The kit contained everything needed even a tape measure.

This one

I've had these cheap ones from Amazon for about 5 years. You can adjust the strap so not too tight and they wash really well.

I have had a really good silk one from Soak and Sleep (only bought it to take me over the free delivery, so it did cost me too much)

Only downside is, after seeing PP is that it isnt adjustable

thanks for replies. We can’t change the blinds due to the way window opens and room set up, believe me I have tried.

i have a standard one from decathlon that keeps slipping off at night so I m woken in the morning and it s slid out of place And find myself sleeping sandwiched between two pillows

I can’t sleep without them. Make sure they have moulded eye-pieces so that your eyelashes don’t scrape against them during REM sleep and an adjustable strap so you can make sure they’re not too tight or too loose.

Mad kitten can you recommend one with moulded eye pieces I haven’t seen any on my hunt …
thanks if you can help

I can’t sleep without a mask either, and have had this one for 5 years. https://amzn.eu/d/f2md1ch. It washes well and is still going strong. I’ve recommended it to various friends over the years who are all now converts!

There is a version with moulded cups, which I haven’t tried as I’m very happy with this one.

Loads on Amazon. Go, the travel company, do one as well.

I have tried every single one on Amazon as well as more expensive ones. There’s always something wrong with them. I can’t have ones with metal fastenings as I’ve become like the princess and the pea and the tiny metal buckle makes my whole head sore. Those that are not adjustable are always too tight and give me a headache. It’s a nightmare, quite literally!

I’ve just ordered one called Doze. It’s basically just a tube of soft material so shouldn’t be too tight hopefully and no painful buckles. Not received it yet but am keeping my fingers crossed that, after years of searching, I’ve found one that works.

I have this one and I can open my eye while wearing it, others seemed quite claustrophobic! This doesn't touch your eyes, I love it! Total blackout!

@MoonWoman69 I've just ordered one of those ones - I've needed a new one for ages and it looks just right!

You won't be disappointed! I can't sleep with any light at all, even a chink in the curtains! That provides perfect pitch black. Enjoy! x

Just thought I'd come back on after my sleep eye mask arrived - the one that @MoonWoman69recommended and honestly had the best night's sleep in such a long time!

Aww that's absolutely brilliant to hear! 💐

Drowsy Sleep mask has been perfect. I mean it blocks everything out and it's very comfortable. Check out their site, this saved my summer sleep situation.
