Frequently asked questions

Does a 3D sleep mask need to be tight to block light?

No. Nose and edge geometry matter more than high tension. Tighten only enough to keep the mask stable.

How many nights does it take to assess the fit?

Two or three normal nights are usually enough to identify recurring light leaks, slipping or pressure points.

Does a sleep mask guarantee better sleep?

No. It can make the environment darker and more consistent, but sleep also depends on timing, noise, temperature, health and habits.

Sources and limits

Light and darkness help regulate the sleep–wake cycle. A mask can make the sleep environment darker, but it does not treat a sleep disorder and never replaces medical advice.
