I’m not ashamed to admit I have bought some frivolous eye masks because I wanted to be the Holly Golighltly type to use an eye mask. I bought the cheeky ones that say something about being hungover and champagne problems. I bought the overpriced silk ones “infused” with copper or something similar that Goop mined from the hallows of pseudoscience. But now that I am a first time mom that fears nightfall and the mayhem it brings, I have abandoned aesthetics for functionality. The $35 Brookstone (I know ????) sleep mask actually blacks out your surroundings and the slightly cupped eye area makes sure the only lashes you lose are the ones from your stress induced hair pulling. Somehow the slight pressure from the memory foam helps me fall asleep faster. As someone who now negotiates for sleep like a Moroccan spice market dealer – this was a solid buy. (Also @caseyrosewilson listed it as one of her 10 favorite things in an interview with nymag.) Bought mine on Amazon.
