Best Sleep Masks In India 2022

Sleep is one of the most basic and essential parts of healthy living. I am yet to find a person who doesn’t love his sleep. But, not everyone has the luxury of a deep sleep, every night. 

But worry not, there are several accessories that can ensure you have this luxury, my favourite being a Sleep Mask. So here! Read on to discover the best sleep masks in India.

Top sleep masks in India 2022

Good quality sleep is in reality, not that easy to have, every day. There are a lot of factors that go into this. When questioned, a lot of people said that their sleep gets compromised because of the early morning sunlight streaming through the windows or a roommate studying late into the night with the light on. We also came across a lot of people working the graveyard shifts who don’t get enough sleep or good quality sleep once they get home in the early hours of the morning. 

We don’t generally realise this but even people who claim they can sleep when there is light around, are affected by it. Only when you sleep in the absence of light do you really get the benefits of your sleep. When there is light around, the brain signals the body that it’s time to be active. So, even if you’re asleep, your brain does not get the rest it deserves. 

Sleep masks effectively solve this problem. They are not only affordable but also light in weight, flexible and easy to carry. Here we have a list of the best sleep masks available in India:
