...President?”I’ve spoken those words hundreds of times now, and among the few undecided voters left, the reaction is always the same. First, their eyebrows furrow. Their shoulders shrink imperceptibly. And then a thin-lipped smile settles across their faces like a mask snapping into place. “Still undecided,” they’ll say. Or, “Not sure yet.” Or, when I’m really lucky, they’ll be honest—as honest as they know...
...Dreamer and Dream Essence I've gone to bed with the Dreamer a handful of times. And now I want to marry it. A pillowy bulge lines the bottom of the mask, which feels so light and cushy on the sinuses and allows for hardcore REM action (and for women, protection from make-up smudge during a cat nap). The design blocks out every stray photon of light, and the silky head-strap won't give you any rude awakenings or crude indentations. If you want to spice things up, try the Dream Essence mask, which has a pocket that...
Hibermate The interior of this handcrafted sleep mask feels like it's stitched out of the downiest fleece, while the satin exterior slips easily against surfaces so the Hibermate stays put if you toss and turn. The snug fit was a little too much for this bear, since my eyelids flit and flutter as I fall asleep, and I had some issues adjusting the mask at the bridge of my nose for total darkness. While the two ear "pillows" - both detachable and adjustable - are intended to block sound, I was glad the package came with real ear plugs. The fleece...
...Sleep The Glo to Sleep mask is supposed to calm the storm in your head so you can reach the Land of Nod. You activate the mask's glow-in-the-dark pellets by holding it near a light for 30 seconds, and then kick back and "look up" at the floating, glowing disc shapes (you decide, cosmic snowmen or early Atari video game?). The design is based on meditation practices and scientific research that suggests that looking up and focusing on an object lowers brain-wave frequencies. It did work, as long as I kept looking at the glowing...
...Beaded Bliss Brain strain, go away... Stick this bead-filled baby in the fridge for 60 minutes (or in the freezer for 15 minutes), Velcro it on and it's like having a Popsicle when you were a kid - it somehow makes everything better. You can also heat the mask up in the microwave (15 seconds) to ease nasal congestion, soothe an allergy-puffed face or just kick back and relax (a mask cover is recommended, which also helps block light). Beaded Bliss, indeed. Price: $7.95 for eye mask; $6.95 for eye-mask cover...
