Eye mask improves sleep quality

You can't fall asleep because the street lights or the illuminated advertisement that "hits" directly on your window bother you?

A sleep mask will solve your problem and block the access of light to the eyes, because the brain feels that there is total darkness around it and then the production of the hormone melatonin in the blood "responsible" for sleep begins.

A study by the US Institute of Health showed that subjects who wore an eye mask improved the quality of their sleep and prolonged the REM sleep phase, so that they woke up less often than those who did not wear it. Martial arts athletes and weightlifters use it to learn to rely on their other senses, as do astronauts on the International Space Station.

This mask is also recommended for people who work night shifts, for example, nurses, doctors, workers, police officers, who need to sleep during the day.

When buying, make sure that it is made of soft material with an adjustable lace, that it does not constrict you and does not press your nose, news reports.
