To Eye Mask or Not to Eye Mask?

Are you someone who struggles to get a good night's sleep? Do you find yourself tossing and turning, or constantly being woken up by light? If so, you're not alone! Many people have trouble sleeping, and it can have a negative impact on their overall health and wellbeing. But have you ever considered using an eye mask or sleep mask to improve your sleep quality? Yep -sometimes it can be that easy!

Eye masks and sleep masks are designed to block out light and create a dark, comfortable environment for sleep. They're typically made of soft materials like cotton, silk, or eucalyptus, and they're designed to fit comfortably over your eyes. 

But do these masks really improve your sleep quality? Let's take a look at the evidence.

 

The burning question remains "Do you call it an Eye Mask or a Sleep Mask?" 😉

 

The Benefits of Eye Masks and Sleep Masks

One of the main benefits of using an eye mask or sleep mask is that it can help regulate your body's circadian rhythm. Your circadian rhythm is your body's internal clock that controls your sleep-wake cycle. It's influenced by light and darkness, so wearing an eye mask or sleep mask can help signal to your brain that it's time to sleep. By blocking out light, these masks can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer, leading to a more restful sleep.

Eye masks and sleep masks can also help reduce distractions and promote relaxation. If you're someone who's easily distracted by visual stimuli, wearing an eye mask or sleep mask can help reduce those distractions and promote relaxation. This can be especially helpful if you're trying to sleep in a brightly lit or busy environment.

Another benefit of using these masks is that they can help reduce anxiety. By creating a sense of relaxation and calmness, wearing an eye mask or sleep mask can help reduce anxiety and promote a more restful sleep.

If you travel frequently, you may also find that these masks are helpful for improving your sleep quality. By creating a dark, quiet environment, they can help you sleep better in unfamiliar or noisy environments, which can reduce jet lag and help you feel more rested.

Potential Drawbacks of Eye Masks and Sleep Masks

Some people find eye masks uncomfortable to wear, especially if they're not used to wearing them. Additionally, wearing a mask for extended periods of time can lead to skin irritation or other skin problems if the mask isn't cleaned regularly. 

BUT, lucky for us (and you), our Eucalyptus Eye Masks have been designed to fit comfortably around your eyes and made from 100% eucalyptus fibres that are suitable for even sensitive skins. 

 

The Bottom Line

So, do eye masks and sleep masks really improve sleep? The answer is yes, for many people. If you're struggling with sleep, it may be worth giving an eye mask or sleep mask a try to see if it helps you get a better night's rest.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: While these masks can be helpful for many people, they may not be effective for everyone. If you have a sleep disorder like sleep apnea or insomnia, you may require other treatments or therapies to improve your sleep quality.
