Light has an intense effect on quality sleep. In the early light of day, exposure to light stimulates our body and mind, encouraging us to wake up, be alert, use the energy we have stored up.
At night, light exposure stimulates alertness. That can be a serious problem for healthy, abundant, refreshing sleep. Light exposure during the evening makes it much harder to fall asleep. If you don’t have enough darkness throughout the night, you will be troubled with frequent and often prolonged awakenings.
How darkness influences sleep
The absence of light sends a critical signal to the body that it is time to rest. Light exposure at the wrong times alters the body's internal "sleep clock"—the biological mechanism that regulates sleep-wake cycles—in ways that interfere with both the quantity and quality of sleep.
Melatonin is a hormone produced in the brain's pineal gland and is often known as the "sleep hormone" or the "darkness hormone." Melatonin sends a signal to the brain that it is time for rest. Your body’s physiological responses prepare you for sleep—muscles begin to relax, feelings of drowsiness increase, body temperature drops.
Melatonin levels naturally rise during the early evening as darkness falls. These hormonal levels continue to climb throughout most of the night, before cresting at about 3 a.m. Melatonin levels then fall during the early morning and remain low during much of the day. Evening light exposure inhibits the naturally timed rise of melatonin, which delays the onset of the body's transition to sleep.
Some people would argue that blackout curtains are the sure way to sleeping better. Okay, after the trouble and expense of installing them, what happens when you’re traveling? You can’t exactly pack up your blackout curtains and take them with you!
Wearing a sleep mask is a proven way to inhibit light exposure and allow you to get the much needed rest you need. If you work at night and must sleep during the day, a sleep mask can be a lifesaver for ensuring restful sleep.
Sleep masks are as mobile as you are and a lot more convenient. Especially when you can purchase top of the line sleep masks from Get Groovy Deals.

AMAZING!!
My goodness! What can I say? I've Been having horrible sleep, being desperate, I bought a mask at the store. It was awful. I could see light at around my nose and below my eyes and it was so tight on my eyes (no matter how much I loosened it) that it actually hurt. I have autoimmune disease and it causes my eyes to be very tender. It was awful. The next day, I found out about this 3D sleep mask. I'll admit, I didn't expect much and it looked sort of weird. I got it in the mail and tried it on. I couldn't see any light, whatsoever! It is adjustable and the best part, is the "hallowed out" areas for my eyes. No pressure on them, at all! The mask is uniformly thick, so the edges didn't feel different than the rest. I'm so very happy with my purchase. Now I want them in the other colors! -Heidi Marie

The key is the 3D design, this soft and luxurious mask rests on the face around the eye area, it does not touch the eye directly providing maximum eye coverage. It is fully adjustable creating a personalized fit with 100% blackout. The thin memory foam layer is soft and light.
JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED!
After receiving my mask I saw my ophthalmologist for my yearly exam. He recommended that I wear a sleep mask to help alleviate chronic dry eyes, specifically one which does not touch my eye area. I told him about my new Island Slumber mask which totally fits his criteria! I will buy more of these comfortable masks!!

No Meds Needed. Amazing Sleep Mask
I work night shift and have to sleep during the day. It is very difficult to keep light out of my room even with blackout curtains. Light sneaks in through. This mask is the best mask I have ever had. It is comfortable and keeps the light out. I no longer have to sue sleep aids to fall asleep. I would highly recommend this mask to anyone.

I simply loved it
I thought this was going to be like all the flimsy eye masks that I needed for an upcoming trip. Boy I was wrong. These masks are high quality, lightweight masks that feel great on your skin. And they REALLY keep all light out. I was dreading this trip, but now I can't wait to go! This is a keeper for sure! just total black out light weight helps sleep well comfortable.

I was skeptical about this but I was so pleased with their pillow I bought the mask as well. What a difference, it’s extremely comfortable and completely blocks out all light. I could not give a higher rating on this.
