Your eyes are the last thing that closes.

A silk eye mask isn't a luxury. It's a tool.

Blue light from your phone suppresses melatonin. But even if you put the phone away, streetlight, moonlight, and the LED on your charger still leak in. Your eyes detect light even when closed.

Why silk

Cotton absorbs. Silk doesn't. A silk mask stays cool, doesn't crease your eyelids, and doesn't pull on your skin. The 22-momme silk we use is the same weight used in high-end bedding.

How it helps yoga

Better sleep = better practice. Your body repairs itself while you sleep. If you're waking up groggy, your down dog is going to feel twice as hard.

The 90-second rule

Put the mask on, set a timer for 90 seconds. Don't try to fall asleep. Just lie there. Most people drift off before the timer goes off.
