Sleep masks offer several benefits, including blocking out ambient light, which can improve sleep quality by minimizing distractions and promoting melatonin production. This is particularly helpful for individuals in bright environments or those who need to sleep during the day, such as shift workers[1][2][5]. Additionally, sleep masks can create a calming effect, potentially aiding in quicker sleep onset[2][4].
However, there are drawbacks; some may find sleep masks uncomfortable due to fit or material, particularly if they are too tight or made from irritating fabrics[1][3]. Regular cleaning is essential, as dirty masks can contribute to skin issues[2][5]. Overall, personal comfort and preferences will significantly influence their effectiveness.
