Why blocking light helps sleep

Darkness signals the brain to release melatonin, the hormone that makes you sleepy. Even dim light can delay sleep or wake you early. A sleep mask is especially useful for shift workers who sleep during the day, travellers, and anyone sharing a room or living on a well-lit street.

Choosing a sleep mask

  • Contoured sleep mask: moulded eye cups leave room for eyelashes and avoid pressure on the eyelids, which many people find more comfortable.
  • Silk sleep mask: smooth and gentle on skin and hair, and cool in warm weather.
  • Sleep mask for side sleepers: slim, flat sides and a thin strap avoid pressure on the ears.
  • Cooling or heated masks: gel masks chilled in the fridge soothe puffy eyes; warm masks can relax tired eyes, but follow the heating instructions carefully.
  • Adjustable strap: lets the mask block light without being tight.

Wash fabric masks regularly to avoid skin and eye irritation.

Other ways to sleep better

  • Keep a regular sleep and wake time, even at weekends.
  • Avoid tea, coffee and energy drinks in the afternoon and evening.
  • Put screens away 30 to 60 minutes before bed.
  • Keep the bedroom cool, quiet and dark; earplugs pair well with a mask.

When poor sleep needs a doctor

If you snore loudly, stop breathing or gasp during sleep, or feel very sleepy during the day despite enough time in bed, see a doctor, as these can be signs of sleep apnoea. Long-lasting insomnia also deserves medical advice rather than relying on sleep aids.

Sleep masks for children and travel

Some children who wake early in bright summer mornings sleep longer with blackout curtains rather than masks, which can slip off. For travel, a compact contoured mask with a case, plus earplugs, makes buses, trains and flights more restful.
