Sleep Mask for Relaxation

By Riley Seymour | Jul 16, 2024

Close your eyes and picture the ideal home spa day; immersing yourself in the ultimate relaxation – lounging – perhaps in a warm bath, only natural light streaming through the window, or perhaps your window is closed, and the lights are dimmed or off, with candles surrounding the tub, illuminating the iridescent bubbles as you drift into dreamland.

Have you ever experienced such a calming environment at home? It can be easy to miss out on quality relaxation with the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Maintaining a household, getting the kids to school and to their activities on time, making time for your loved ones and your spouse, getting to the grocery store before the milk runs out, and making sure all the bills are paid in a timely manner can be completely exhausting and depleting if you don’t take some time for yourself.

Do Sleep Masks Work? What Does an Eye Mask Do?

These days, self-care is more important than ever before, and that starts with making sure you’re getting plenty of quality sleep. Experts recommend adults get 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Do you find yourself struggling to fall asleep once you lay down? If so, you’ll want to make sure you’re giving yourself enough time to wind down for bed.

Once you’re in bed, putting on a sleep mask – a tiny yet mighty sleep aid – can be just what you need to block out lights and movement for a restful night’s sleep. Sleep masks work by shielding your eyes from ambient light, increasing REM sleep and boosting melatonin levels.

Who Should Use a Sleep Mask?

Anyone can use a sleep mask – whether you’re falling asleep in your bed at home, spending a night on the couch, or you’re traveling by plane, train, or cruise ship, a sleep mask can help you relax and can even improve cognitive function the next day.

Silk Sleep Mask vs Bamboo Sleep Mask

Do you prefer a silk sleep mask or bamboo sleep mask? What’s the difference between them?

Both types of sleep masks are lightweight and easy to care for. Silk sleep masks can be hand washed and hung to dry, while bamboo masks can be machine washed using the cold setting.

Our mulberry silk masks fit well, provide total darkness, and are treated with aloe vera to help reduce puffiness and relieve swelling under your eyes.

Our stretch-knit bamboo sleep masks are soft, fit comfortably, and are available in a variety of colors.

Reviewers say both of our sleep masks wash well, do not move at night, and help them get a restful night’s sleep.

Whether you prefer a silk eye mask for sleeping or a bamboo sleep mask, Cozy Earth has you covered!
