I've wanted to get an eye mask for a while. Thanks for the encouragement!

Great piece! Thank you. I’m pulling out my black furry eyemask that I usually only use for travel. :-)

The heated eye mask… how does yours work? Any recommendations?

Its so easy to use. I charge it during the day. And use it at night. Heats up in less than a minute.

Ordered it. Hope it fits with my satin bonnet on and earplugs in, lol. Sleeping just gets sexier ad sexier as I get older.

Haha. I can relate. I often have my earplugs in too. Definitely not a glamour shot!

I've been sleeping with an eye mask for years and also recommend it for my insomnia clients too! Such an affordable tip that can make a big difference in sleeping through the night. Thanks for sharing the research!

Thanks for the insights. I’m going to give both masks a test run, though I loathe Amazon.

Amazon is a beast. Can likely find decent regular eye masks at a CVS or related pharmacy. Not sure though about the heated eye masks.

I've used a sleep mask for years. I highly recommend it for improved sleep. I also use a heated mask before bed for my dry eyes. Both have made a tremendous improvement in my quality of life! Thank you for this article.

My husband bought one recently, to use up his "dollars" from bonus money give from his health insurance to spend. I thought he was crazy, I just found the mask a few days ago, and now this article. It's asian. And I can't wait to see if it works! Thank you.

I have anyways thought of sleeping eye masks as a heavy and discomforting accessory used to help keep your eyes closed at night. Thank you for giving me a new perspective showing me how beneficial regular and heated eye masks are for your sleep. I hope to try this one out because I am all about sleeping better !
