I have experimented with eye masks before, but found that they either made contact with my eyelids or caused me to sweat during sleep. However, I have now discovered that wearing a black t-shirt over my eyes works remarkably well. This allows for proper air flow and prevents sweating, while also avoiding any contact with my eyelids.
- MAGZine 3y agoI wear a Manta when I need an eye mask, which has cups around the eyes so your eyelids do not contact anything. Recommended if you'd rather have a proper solution.
- froggychairs 3y agoI also use a Manta. Some versions can be quite steep in price, but it’s helped tremendously since we live in apartment with a lot of light pollution spilling in
- matt-attack 3y agoAmazing, this is exactly what I’ve been doing for the last 30 years. I just grab a thin, lightweight black or dark tshirt. The nice thing is if I’m traveling I don’t even have to think about it because I’ll likely always have a tshirt handy. I seriously cannot sleep without doing this now. The feeling of light incident on my closed eyelids while trying to sleep is quite uncomfortable.
- panda888888 3y agoI agree with this 100%. I don't have issues with things touching my eyelids or with being too hot, but I'm a fidgety sleeper and regular masks always fall off, and then I'm too sleepy to use two hands to put them back on. A black tee shirt that I can lazily throw back over my eyes with one hand works a million times better for me than any mask I've ever tried.
