This genius $18 Bluetooth sleep mask can help you sleep like a baby
Sensory deprivation tanks are underrated. I mean, who doesn’t wish they could block out all sights and sounds while trying to fall asleep when someone’s blasting a movie nearby? Now there’s a brilliant product (not exactly a sensory deprivation tank, but close) that tunes out the world and “seals in” softness. The LightimeTunnel Sleep Headphones offer the bliss of being totally away, without going anywhere at all — a great solution to those sleepless nights. And they're now up to 40% off at Amazon, starting at $18.
The LightimeTunnel Sleep mask-headphone hybrid is a soft, velvety accessory that caters to multiple senses. It blocks out light, feels soothing on the skin and (drumroll please...) has built-in speakers that connect wirelessly to your phone or tablet via Bluetooth. You can listen to bedtime tunes, your get-pumped-for-that-meeting playlist or that inspirational podcast in the deep darkness of utter calm.
“I’m used to going to bed listening to music but having my phone under the pillow was an unsafe thing to do,” wrote a five-star Amazon reviewer. “I’m glad I found this product because it doesn’t only play music, it also gives me a complete blackout so I can fall asleep even if there’s light (like when I get to nap during the day). I think this product is very well made, super soft and plushy, quite comfortable and if I leave it a little loose I can actually sleep on my side.”
Another reviewer fell in love after the first night: "I haven’t had a full nights sleep in years…everything wakes me up: lights, TV, any noises. I was taking 60-80mg of melatonin a night, wearing ear plugs and an eye mask just to be able to sleep three to four hours (on a good night). I was getting desperate, but didn’t really want to turn to prescription sleeping pills so I started searching and found this eye mask with Bluetooth! The first night I was a little unsure. The controls and everything are right above your nose bridge, which is a tad bit heavy and pressed down on my nose which was somewhat uncomfortable. The mask was a bit big for my head so the next day I went to Walmart and got some strips of self adhesive Velcro and was able to make the mask tight enough where it didn’t slip down on my nose. That night (and every night for the last week) I have slept through the entire night!"
Made from a super-smooth memory sponge material, the sleep mask/headphone combo is comfy and inviting. It's large enough to block light from all sides, but designed so well that is doesn't feel too bulky. The Velcro closure makes it easy to get a perfect fit—and the lining is detachable, so you can take it off and wash it whenever you want.
The mask has up to nine hours of playback before it needs to charge, and it comes with a carrying case for protection inside an overstuffed bag.
While we think of the LightimeTunnel Sleep Headphones as the ultimate in relaxation, the creators of the product have taken into account that sometimes the real world needs to get in touch. That’s why it includes a built-in microphone for phone calls. Genius. There are even other colors to pick from. Who says you can't snooze in style?
