Sleep Master Sleep Mask

For the past 5 years after a painful event in my life which I won't get into... My sleep suffered tremendously. I just couldn't sleep at night... I tried everything...-Dangerous prescription-grade pharmaceutical drugs (Valium and other powerful sedatives)-Melatonin "Natural" Supplements. (No matter how high of dosage... It had zero effect on me. And there is nothing "natural" about putiing a hormone in the body from a external source which affects the entire endocrine system of the body.)-Sleep positions-Window shades and darkening the room as much as possible during the night. (Ineffective.)-Hypnosis (What a fraud!)-Sleep Masks (Pretty much all of them except for this one don't work because they are poorly very engineered so to speak. Remember there is a reason why this sleep mask of all things has a patent... Because all the other competitors lack the innovation to manufacture an effective sleep mask.)I was sleeping barely much and when I did it was during the day hours. My sleep quality was also very terrible. I woke up with headaches, still extremely tired and very unrefreshed (If that's a word.)This continued on for the past 5 years.After getting this sleep mask... ALL my sleep problems seemed to have just honestly magically disappeared literally overnight. I can now sleep easily and quickly at night without any issues. I have also noticed that I am only sleeping like 5-6 hours with this sleep mask yet I honestly real feel like I got a good 10 hours of sleep...Unbelievable. I woke up today... Looked at the clock and was a bit shocked that I only slept 5 hours yet for some reason I was not tired at all but extremely energized like I had gotten plenty of sleep. (10 hours).It's now 6:41pm and I still haven't felt an ounce of fatigue, grogginess or drowsy as I am writing this review.This sleep mask for $25? It's too much? Let me tell YOU what's too much... Having the lifestyle of a drug addict even though you have never even done something as small as marijuana in your life or gotten drunk from alcohol.The complete transformation in my life this has made was nothing for $25 dollars. Sleep master please keep my $25 dollars and I'll keep my physical and mental health that your product has benefited me.The fabric and stitching quality of this product extremely high quality. I have not seen any sleep mask on the market (I have a lot of them) with level of fabric quality than this one. The stitching is very very sturdy too. The comfort is the ultimate kicker!I have a big nose... Very big nose... And pretty no sleep mask except for this one was comfortable for me. This is for all sizes! And it doesn't build up heat or induce sweat while you sleep.Don't worry about the price for this. If you are being stingy by thinking "Oh $25 dollars for a small piece of fabric..." You are thinking wrong!Think about the benefits you will get from a product like this. I already mentioned them... Today I woke up after only a week of having this product with significantly less black eyes than in the past 5 years. I have no headache or fatigue.This product blocks COMPLETE light to the eyes causing the body to release melatonin: A powerful anti-aging anti-oxidant hormone that tells the body to sleep and also induces high amounts of HGH and DHEA to released which also has many anti-aging anti-oxidant properties. The body than has lowered cortisol and adrenaline which ages the body, increases risks of heart disease, high blood pressure and obesity.)Those of you who have a circadian rhythm disorder this is your real natural cure! Not the veneering as "natural" melatonin "supplements" (really drugs actually) which the FDA should step in and not make available without prescription. Did you men out there know by the way that so-called "natural" melatonin drugs can shut down your natural testosterone product, shrink the testicles and stop sperm production eventually?Well there have been several reputable documented case studies which have showed without any doubt that you should not being taking this drug unless prescribed by a well-qualified physician.The safe way to get your melatonin is with this sleep mask because you will not pumping the body with a hormone from an outside external source which can cause the entire endocrine system to shut down. (It thinks if it is getting a hormone from a outside source, what the use in being active?)You can't make this yourself most likely anyway for you frugal folks out there. It will be too time-consuming anyway and not worth the effort. Don't take my word... Research all the sleep masks out there. They suck! The are not durable, not comfortable, don't fully block light and overtime become more expensive due to replacements. They also fall off. (Further diminishing effectiveness.)This sleep mask is actually a complete bargain for what it does... Those sleep drugs are actually very expensive (at least the ones dangerous enough to be effective and effective enough to be dangerous). They can also cause very expensive health problems. Hope you have very good medical insurance if the drugs mess up something major in your body. (They eventually will)Just my unbiased take and how see spending $25 dollars on this as really good investment for your mental and physical health which many other dangerous remedies for proper sleep will end up costing you more money in the long haul and will not be a long-term cure but rather a short-term management. (Those drugs get ineffective until you need a higher dose or a completely new and more dangerous drug.)The ear plug included also pretty much make things almost completely silent. With the combination of complete sound and light blockage... I literally completely pass out dead... More dead than any drug I've tired.It's up to you... $25 for some weak-a$$ drug over-counter at CVS or this sleep mask which is a natural long-term remedy more effective than the most powerful sedatives that hardly any doctor will every prescribe for anyway plus the risk of death from those drugs plus addiction.

I started wearing a mask when some neighbors moved in and they keep their outside light on all night long and it is about 5 feet away from my window. Light creeps in and makes it difficult for me to sleep. I was using a mask from a little Delta Airlines sleep kit that someone gave me. This worked okay but the band around the back was annoying and went across part of my cheekbone. I am a back sleeper. I can fall asleep in one position on my back and stay there the whole night.Anyhow, I saw this and thought it might work out. I've worn it for 5 nights now I believe. Takes some getting used to and when I move my head (I have a fairly hard memory foam pillow so softer pillows might work fine) the part which goes around my ears opens so any sound is no longer muffled. If I lay on my side (which I do not like to do it closes up fine but I always wind up going back to my original position (back).I do not like that to adjust it the velcro is really loud and my husband gets disturbed but once you have it adjusted to suit your head, you should not have to adjust it too much. I also don't see any other way it could be done, apart from getting a custom-made mask. :-)It is soft and comfortable (I like that there are no elastic bands that touch my face and it does block the light quite effectively) and I am going to continue to use it and and see if it will work for me.October 23, 2012:Love it; I tightened it a little (the velcro sound scared the daylights out of my cat who was sleeping on my bed; she jumped - poor kitty - lol!) a week or so ago and kind of crossed the back a little (meaning it is not straight across the velcro in the back but kind of on an angle) so that it is tighter around my ears (but not too tight) and it no longer opens when I turn my head! And it still comfortable, the askew velcro'ing makes no difference in how it feels, even when I sleep with my head straight up on the pillow (back sleeper).I do not mind that in the morning when my alarm wakes me, it is sometimes still on my head and sometimes it is not; because I am not woken by light in the morning but by my alarm. However, there should be an invention which stops it from falling behind the bed! :-) I was missing it for one night; thought my cat might have dragged it off somewhere (because she is a collector or could be getting me back for scaring the daylights out of her with the velcro sound - lol) but it had just fallen behind head of the bed (we do not have a solid headboard) and I was searching for it, all worried I had lost it for good. Luckily, I located it last night before bedtime and was very happy. Now I know where to look for it when it "disappears". :-)Anyhow, I think this is a great product and worth the money for those that want to get good rest. I could put this on in a completely lit room and have the sound muffled and light completely shut out. Maybe I'll even try it on road trips (which I can NEVER sleep on).
