5:48 am

Your eyes are closed. Your body still sees the light.

The streetlamp through the blind, the standby LED, the summer sunrise before six. Eyelids are thin, and your body clock reads straight through them.

The story

The room is never actually dark.

  1. 3:12 am

    You wake. The standby light, the streetlamp through the blind, his phone lighting up the ceiling.

  2. 5:48 am

    Summer sunrise. Sleep is over whether you agree or not.

  3. 7:00 am

    You look how you feel. Puffy eyes and a short fuse, and no cream fixes a night that did not happen.

  4. Tonight

    Total dark that goes where you go. Nothing touching your lids or lashes. Gel from the fridge for the eyes that gave last night away.

What it does about it

3D sleep mask with cool and warm gel

Total blackout

Contoured to the bridge of your nose, which is where flat masks leak. Dark at noon, dark on a plane, dark at sunrise.

Zero pressure on your eyes

The 3D cups leave room to blink. Nothing touches lids or lashes, so lash extensions and night cream stay where you put them.

Cool or warm gel

From the fridge for tired, puffy eyes. Warmed for ten minutes of quiet before sleep.

The science, plainly

Why this works, and who says so.

1 nightof ordinary room light

Healthy adults who slept one night with the room lit had a higher heart rate all night and higher insulin resistance the next morning than those who slept in near darkness.

The eyesare the sensor

Does the whole body need to be in the dark? No. The body clock reads light through the eyes. When researchers shone bright light on the skin behind the knees, the body clock did not move. Cover the eyes and you have covered the sensor.

Next daysharper

People who wore an eye mask overnight learned better and were more alert the next day than on nights without one.

Questions

Does it work for side sleepers?

Yes. The cups are soft and the strap is flat, so it stays put when you turn.

How do I cool or warm the gel?

Fridge for an hour for cool. Warm water for a few minutes for warm. The card in the box has the exact steps.

Can I wash it?

Remove the gel insert and hand wash the mask.

You already paid for blackout curtains that are not black. This is the €14.99 fix.
