Wearing an eye mask during sleep improves episodic learning and alertness

Isn’t the pressure applied on your eyes a risk though? That’s one of the reasons keeping me away from using sleep masks.

I use a brand called Manta Sleep that has adjustable eye holes in the mask so the pressure goes around your eyes rather than on them.

Same but I also use their overused cups as well. Really helps move the pressure further from the eye.

overused? I'm assuming you meant over sized? I didn't know those existed. Definitely worth picking up?

Yes, oversized. I find them to be a worthwhile upgrade for sure.

These look interesting, I see they are also designed for side sleepers.

No, the pressure is very light for me, and not sleeping will always carry more risks.
