Dream Essentials Sweet Sleep Sleeping Mask Review

I am a light sleeper. On top of being a light sleeper, I have a lot of trouble falling asleep at night. I can be awake for several hours at night, before the Sandman finally pays me a visit. When I was selected to review this product for free, in exchange for my honest review, I was quite excited. I go through sleeping masks like I go through water. I'm always buying your basic thin elastic strap masks, you find at the dollar stores, or at Wal-Mart, that tend to stretch over time, and lose their purpose.

My New BFF.

I had never tried a contoured mask before receiving this one. So naturally, I was looking forward to trying it out. I opened my package before I even got home. I sat in my truck to examine the contents of my package. One, contoured sleeping mask, one package of basic ear plugs, and one drawstring carry pouch. Sadly, the ear plugs stayed in the truck, which my husband decided to use at work, and the drawstring pouch is no where to be found. Either way, great items to have with a mask such as this one.

I was so tired before getting home, that when I finally arrived, I told my husband I was taking a nap. I still had about 3 hours before I had to cook dinner, so I had plenty of time to take a mini nap. That's when I tried my mask out for the first time. As soon as I put it on, all went dark. The tight fit of the thick elastic Velcro straps, which I tightened to fit around my head, provided a bit of pressure around my head alleviating a little headache I had. The mask sits flushed on my face comfortably, so it's the perfect size.

Thick elastic Velcro band.

 Dips in the eyes for a comfortable fit.

 Contoured nose area.

Padding above the eyelids.

I overslept. Hubby was kinda glad to see that I had taken a lengthy nap, because I get very little sleep at night. He asked me how long I took to fall asleep, because our neighbor decided to play his drums around the same time I went to lay down. Funny thing is, is that I NEVER heard my neighbor. I didn't even have the ear plugs on because they were in the truck. I fell asleep so quickly and so comfortably, that I slept through the drumming.

I've been using my mask for a few weeks now. I can honestly say that this is by far my favorite, and most comfortable mask that I've ever used. It is light weight, soft, and the contoured area around the eyes, make me sleep so comfortably. There's even extra padding around the eyebrow area that presses nicely above my eyelids, making me sleep so comfortably.

At times, I do notice that a tiny bit of light creeps in around the nose area, but with a few tugs, and adjustments of the mask, I can get the light blocked out. I also love that it stays in place throughout the night, and doesn't slip up from behind my head. It's so SO very comfortable. And I'm getting so much more sleep.

The mask is currently on sale on their website Dream Essentials for $9.95, and is available in red, royal blue, and black. It is also available on Amazon for the same low price, and ships free with Amazon Prime. I'm sure this very low price is only temporary, so grab yours now. Get a great nights sleep just like I am.
