sleep masks
Darkness for dozing
Sleep masks are fabric coverings worn over the eyes to block light during sleep or rest.
They typically have an elastic strap that wraps around the head.
Travelers use them on planes and in unfamiliar rooms; shift workers use them to sleep during daylight hours.
Also called eye masks.
