We know lights are detrimental to good sleep, which makes tiny ones particularly annoying in hotel rooms, so packing an eye mask is key to getting better sleep on a flight and on your trip. Not only do they block out cabin lights or the glow of your neighbor’s laptop, but they also act as a signal to your body that it’s time to sleep.
I tried two options. First, the “3D Contoured Cup Sleeping Mask & Blindfold” I use at home that’s raised, so it doesn’t put pressure on your eyelids ($21.99 on Amazon). And second, a pair of “Sleep Headphones” ($22.89 on Amazon), an eye mask with built-in Bluetooth headphones. After flying with both, I’d skip the high-tech model; on an 8 a.m. flight, I had to keep adjusting the position of the speakers, which distracted me from trying to sleep. Meanwhile, the low-tech mask did its job seamlessly and helped me sleep for hours at a time.
