My new favorite sleep mask!

(by Andy) I tend to be somewhat of a travel gear geek, and am always on the lookout for items that make travel more enjoyable. I also highly value my sleep, especially with one (soon to be two) young children running around. As such, I’ve been trying out several different sleep masks over the years, but they all had one thing in common that made them intolerable to me, and that was that when I would wear it for more than an hour, my vision was all blurry from eyeball deformation. It would often take several hours until my vision was back to normal (this is more common in those, like myself, who’ve gotten LASIK).

My wife then found this mask for me, and my life was changed – the Earth Therapeutics REM sleep mask! (non-affiliate link) I’ve been wearing this now for a little while, and my sleep is much more sound, including on planes, and I get no blurry vision when I take it off. My wife says it looks like a mini-bra – the mask is contoured out from your face, so you still can have eyelid movement. Also, crucially, this mask blocks out all light – it is pitch black when I wear it.

I am in love!
