Can you recommend a specific one like the one you purchased a couple of months ago?

My problem is either my phone or laptop. So I turn off my laptop and don't look at my phone an hour before bed. Like you, I read instead. I always fall asleep quickly but my problem is staying asleep. It's been that way for years, and now it's even worse with being menopausal! I wake up every few hours to go pee. And then I sometimes have night sweats. Once in awhile, I even have bad anxiety and am up for hours. Sheesh. Then the sunlight starts coming in through the cracks in the blinds...and of course, that wakes me up, too. I wish I could wear an eye mask. I can't stand to have anything touching my face, especially covering my eyes. Freaks me out. Now the silk pillowcase, I just might have to try. Staying cool and not having bed head sound good to me! <br /><br />I just saw your comment on Jane's blog (Blondie's Journal)...I had forgotten that you were from the Chicago area. You said you used to shop at Old Orchard. I lived in Skokie from 1979 - 1984, so of course, I was at OO all the time! In fact, I worked at the Marshall Fields there when I was in my senior year in high school ('79 - '80). :-)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-17310752496266798542015-05-20T11:51:49.649-07:002015-05-20T11:51:49.649-07:00Melatonin gave me nightmares too.

So, I watch TV in the LR until I get sleepy and then go to bed. I tried the Melatonin and it gave me horrible nightmares so it doesn't work for me either.

It fits more comfortably than other masks I have used in the past. I will say that it is a bit pricey. I paid $35.00 for mine, but if it helps me get a good night sleep and smooths out wrinkles at the same time, I am okay with the price. It is washable and the copper fibers last the lifetime of the mask. I purchased mine through Neiman Marcus online. They have free shipping. I am sure there are other resources, and if I find one cheaper I will let you know.Susan Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323206599839838089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-70815228621723494132015-05-20T10:29:44.125-07:002015-05-20T10:29:44.125-07:00Let me know how you like that sleep mask, Susan. ...Let me know how you like that sleep mask, Susan. My hubby wears one every night...and has for about 30 years. He had brain surgery and one of the results was that one eye does not "seal shut" at night when he sleeps so he needs to wear a mask. We have tried a dozen of them and all are somewhat undesirable...but I have not seen one like you have here. I will be anxious to hear how it works...and the wrinkles would just be the bonus! xo Diana<br />ps. I LOVE a silk pillowcase but haven't had one in years!~ I think I need a new one!NanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-79629729019253496442015-05-20T10:13:59.966-07:002015-05-20T10:13:59.966-07:00Lots of great hints...I think I need a silk pillow...Lots of great hints...I think I need a silk pillowcase...Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090973681675943970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-32264026655314601352015-05-20T10:06:10.922-07:002015-05-20T10:06:10.922-07:00I convinced the RG years ago that the T.V. disturb...I convinced the RG years ago that the T.V. disturbed the natural process of complete rest.
