Being well-rested is vital to improving your mood, productivity, stress levels, and overall health, and even small things like switching up your sleepwear and bedding can make the difference between tossing and turning for hours and sinking into deep REM sleep. To help you drift off to dreamland faster (and stay there), throw on your coziest silk pajamas, fluff up a supportive pillow, and try slipping on one of the best weighted eye masks. Unlike traditional eye masks, however, these are often filled with microbeads, sand, or flaxseeds to “help ease stress and anxiety via the deep touch pressure stimulation therapeutic principle This occurs when pressure is applied to the body in a way that makes it more aware of its position in space, triggering the parasympathetic nervous system and leading to relaxation, which is more conducive to sleep On top of providing light-blocking and calming benefits, some designs are also chillable—meaning they can de-puff and soothe the skin just like your favorite under-eye patches. This weighted eye mask from the brand is filled with glass beads designed to conform to the shape of your face for enhanced comfort, and it’s elongated in the front to better block out light. Plus, the thick elastic band provides a more secure fit. Not only is the removable cover machine washable, but it’s also made with breathable cotton, polyester, and special temperature-regulating particles that draw heat and humidity away from the skin. This plush mask is specifically designed with side sleepers in mind, but it can also work for nearly any sleeping position. Instead of using Velcro or elastics that can feel bulky and distracting, it includes four weighted pods designed to be draped across the eyes and equally distribute pressure. And on either end are two flat panels, which you can lay on while side sleeping or tuck into one another to keep the mask secure while snoozing upright (say, during travel). The scalloped-shaped pods are built to contour to your face shape for better coverage, and since this mask weighs just over half a pound, it’s a great lighter weight style for beginners. One side offers cooling cotton, while the other is made with soft microfiber. This mask is so comfortable. The beaded weight is perfect and conforms to my eye area perfectly. The material is very soft and soothing. I love that the beads in the mask get cold, but not so cold that it’s uncomfortable. It is such a soothing mask! I wear it till it starts warming up (about 10 minutes) and then flip it around and get another 10 minutes of cool relief from the other side. After using the mask once, I ordered a second one. While I bought the mask to help with my swollen and painful eyes, it is also wonderful for my migraines. And I also use it on my forehead to help cool me down when I’m overheated You don’t really want to wear one that is heavier than one pound, as it can apply too much pressure to the eyes.
