A sleep mask is a fairly popular device – many have admitted that it significantly improves the quality of rest.

It should be noted that masks have been used for a long time - in Ancient Egypt they were made from linen and papyrus.

Today its form has changed slightly, but its function remains the same.

Many experts believe that blocking out light as a distraction can have a positive effect on sleep.

How much does the mask improve sleep?

Three reasons to buy a mask.

  1. Improved sleep. In complete darkness, the quality of sleep improves. A person sleeps better and feels kinder. It's all about melatonin, which is produced by the pineal gland in the dark. This hormone regulates sleep and wake cycles.
  2. Improving skin quality. Melatonin has a positive effect on the skin condition by neutralizing oxidative processes.
  3. Improved cognitive abilities. As a result of good rest, you will experience increased alertness and concentration.
