Poblex 3D Contoured Sleep Mask, Adjustable Fit, Machine Washable
Description
A contoured sleep mask shaped to follow the face, so it sits off the eyelids and does not press on lashes.
Adjustable clips let you set the strap to your own head size, and the mask is made from a breathable sponge fabric intended to reduce sweating during longer wear.
Machine washable, which is unusual for a contoured mask and worth having on something that sits against your face every night.
Why It Matters
Light works against you either way. Even modest exposure suppresses melatonin and shifts the body clock later. Blocking it is one of the few things you can adjust yourself, without a prescription or anyone's permission. Caregivers lose sleep through this too, and the same thing helps.
Two things make this one practical. The strap adjusts with clips rather than a fixed elastic band, which matters if your scalp is tender or you sleep in a head covering. And it goes in the washing machine, which is worth more than it sounds on something that sits against your face nightly. The contoured shape also keeps it off your lashes and eyelids.
