Therabody - SleepMask - Ultra-Comfortable 100% Blackout Eye Mask With Gentle Massaging Vibration - Blue

Few months in and it started to rip from the bottom but overall the vibration settings feel nice and soothing

I love this! My sleep has improved so much better using this alone, but the functions and app have helped me relax and genuinely start to enjoy falling asleep more and more!

Bought this thing as a hope my girlfriend would obviously like it, but she get headaches from time to time, and that nesses with her sleep. Well she loves it, im probably about to use it too.

I was excited about this but the vibrations were uncomfortable and interrupted sleep rather than improving it. Perhaps needs some getting used to but not for me!

I mostly sleep on my back (rarely on either side) and have always had trouble falling asleep (mainly due to tinnitus and lots of thoughts from the day running through my head) and sometimes staying asleep. Hence, my curiosity about a "sleep helper", such as the "Therabody - SleepMask with Vibration Therapy". I wanted to explore if such a mask could make a difference for people like me. In summary: It did, and it didn't. It helped me greatly to relax, especially after a long day of work with my eyes strained due to computer work with multiple monitors, but it didn't do anything to make me fall asleep faster. This is not to say that it might help other people, though. The Sleep Mask works entirely without the app, but you would miss out on all the relaxing and peaceful music and white and pink noises of various lengths between 7 - 21 minutes which you can get through other apps, too, but they all charge for it. You get to use this app with the sleep mask. The music/sound/noise sound therapies are: (1) Peaceful Soundscapes; (2) Restful Sleep; (3) Soft Background Noise; (4) Relaxation and Stress Reduction; (5) Travel and Decompression; and (6) Guided Meditation. The app also includes a 3-part video tutorial of about 1 minute each, which complements the provided user manual. The Sleep Mask's magic revolves around relaxing vibrations that massage the eyes area to help clear your mind. You can choose from "Gentle Pulse Low/High", "Slow Rise and Fall Wave Low/High", and "Constant/Steady Rhythm Low/High". The settings are only controlled through the mask's single button, and not through the app, and as such, it takes some getting used to remembering how many times to push the button to set one or the other vibration mode. I personally found the mask super-comfortable and soft, and it does provide total blackout, which comes in very handy for lighted settings (e.g. street lights you can't block out) and travel. There is also still room enough to open/blink with your eyes so you won't feel claustrophobic or anything. I experienced no "light leakage" when wearing the mask. Though I enjoyed the relaxing and peaceful music, it would be better if it came through the mask and not a smartphone close by, which can be irritating. The vibration is audible, and as such might disturb your partner lying next to you. In conclusion, I am giving this mask 4 points as it really gets the job done relaxing me and relaxing my eyes. I sometimes use it between meeting breaks, just for 15 minutes, and it does make a difference in making it through a workday without too much stress. I didn't count on it to be helpful in the falling asleep department. As such, I am giving this mask well-deserved 4 stars and would recommend it to anyone who seeks relaxation first.
