4 sleep masks that do more than just keep you in the dark

For too may of us, a good night’s sleep is not a given. One solution to restless nights is a sleep mask to block out ambient light. It’s certainly better on your system than sleeping pills or other medication, but let’s face it: Sometimes a simple blindfold just won’t do the trick.

Restless sleepers are prone to distraction from more than just ambient light, but modern sleep masks are so much more than just a strip of cloth. Here are four sleep masks designed to attack your insomnia on multiple fronts, giving you the environment best suited for a restful snooze.
