I love cute sleep masks. One of my favorite movies ever, Breakfast as Tiffany, was one of the first times I can recall seeing a cute sleep mask. I loved everything about Holly Golightly, including her simple and classic style with cute and quirky accents here and there. One of these said “quirky accents” was her sleep mask. The satin turquoise eye mask and the look of closed eye lids with gold trim have become as iconic as the movie.
This past Christmas, I was gifted a soft and soothing eye mask and it has instantly become one of my favorites gifts ever! I never really thought that a sleep mask would help me sleep as much as it does, but it does.
Sleep masks are the cheapest and one of the most effective ways to help you sleep better, because they block out light. When the brain senses complete darkness, it produces the sleeping chemical melatonin . Isn’t science interesting.
Sleep mask are also great for relaxing and traveling to help you clear your mind and zone out.
If you have a hard time falling asleep and/or getting enough sleep, might I suggest you look into buying a sleep mask. Here are some cute and stylish options.
Bronzed Sleep Mask (anthropologie); Jane Sleep Mask (Urban Outfitters); Narcissus Eye Mask (ShopBop); Bat Eye Mask (ShopBop); Relax Eye Mask (Net-A-Porter)
Haha i love the idea of sleep masks, but every time I wear one, I somehow pull it off during the night!

You should try one that’s a little tighter and not so easy to slide on. Also, the Velcro ones are good or you can use bobby pins to keep in place.
Love these sleep masks!! Great idea!!
