I just had to respond to this one TuTu....
I LOVE my sleep mask and earplugs!!!
When I got married 12 years ago I had to do something about the horrible snoring problem my other half has.
So outside of getting a divorce I bought some ear plugs and a sleep mask.
I'm a vision of loveliness while I sleep.....

- Yes, a sleepmask is invaluable.
I like to put a fresh kleenex between my eyes and the mask with each use.
Now and then (but especially before the first use), the mask is best hand-washed rather than in the washing machine (where e coli can survive). -

I never sleep without one. It's been years. Whenever we go away, it is THE FIRST thing I pack.
So glad you discovered it for yourself. You'll wonder how you managed without it.

Good idea on the Kleenex, keeb! I put eye ointment in my eyes, so the mask gets yucky before long. Yes, it says to hand wash. I think a machine would destroy it.
I bought it about 6 months ago to keep the heater from drying my eyes out so badly. Then I discovered that I sleep better and longer with it.

I already require a CPAP for my Lyme-induced apnea, and earplugs to drown out my husband's snoring.

For some reason I got a pic in my mind of your sleep mask having two eyes drawn on the outside when I read your post boxer Mom
