Haven’t had a restful sleep since 2019? Same. And it’s not for lack of trying. Experts say it could be as simple as investing in one of the best sleep masks. While sound machines, melatonin, blue light glasses, and limiting screen time before bed will certainly help, so too will a light-limiting eye mask. “Controlling when we’re exposed to light is one of the most important requirements for better sleep,” says Leon Sasson, cofounder of Rise, an app that tracks circadian rhythm and helps improve sleep and daily energy. “Each of us has an internal body clock that regulates different biological processes based on cues from the environment,” he explains. “Light is one of the most powerful cues we have to stay awake and fall asleep, and we need darkness to get the sleep our bodies need.” Though not all sleep conditions assure complete darkness, especially when you’re traveling this holiday season, which is why a sleep mask is a worthy companion to ensure you’re getting sleep while you are on the move. Whether you’re in a plane or a car or a hotel room without blackout shades, investing in a sleep mask is the easiest way to take good sleep with you wherever you go. From chic silk and cashmere styles to quirky prints and florals, we’ve rounded up the 25 best (and most stylish) sleep masks to buy now.
