There's nothing worse than when you're desperate to sleep, but can't drift off.

Many happy reviewers on Amazon have raved about oddly effective 'blackout masks', and have sworn that they are a 'game changer' for sleep.

Usually, sleep masks are thin and more for style rather than comfort, but these masks block out all of the light - without putting any tight pressure on your face.

In fact, they're ranked the number-one selling sleep mask on Amazon, and have garnered thousands of positive reviews.

So, what makes them so special? Find out everything you need to know below.

What to know about the MyHalos 100% Blackout Sleep Mask

  • Breathable - No more waking up with a sweaty face, as this mask is made of breathable material, which will prevent you from overheating.
  • Zero eye pressure - Protect lashes and sensitive eyes thanks to its 3D design and flexible nose section.
  • Ideal for side sleepers - Many side sleepers struggle to find sleep aids, such as masks and earplugs, due to there being more pressure on one side, but this is soft so it won't dig into your head.
  • Blocks 100% of light - The biggest selling point for the sleep mark is that it promises to block 100 percent of light, acting the same as blackout blinds.

"I’ve tried more sleep masks than I can count over the years - some were too tight, others let in light, and many caused pressure around my eyes that made it impossible to relax.

"The MyHalos 100% Blackout Sleep Mask has been a revelation - it’s comfortable, effective, and makes falling asleep much easier, whether at home or while traveling," they raved.

The happy sleeper added: "This has been a game changer for me. It’s genuinely comfortable to sleep with and actually blocks out all light. No light bleed at the sides and no pressure on the eyes."

It's worth noting, if you suffer from insomnia it's always advised to seek professional help from your doctor or a sleep expert.
