Why do people wear sleeping masks?

Question

Just wondering!!

Answer 1

some people are light sleepers, and get disturbed by lights coming on (if the partner goes to bed at a different time) or if a lot of light shines in the window. so people wear eye masks to make it darker so they can get a good nights sleep.

Answer 2

I presume its to block out all light.... im not too sure though.

Answer 3

So when they look in the mirror, they don't scare themselves.

Answer 4

you know what ?

i was like that but then mum took out the curtains and replaced my bright bedroom with cream coloured blinds, and its like my bedroom is the lightest room in the world!!

now i RELY on the horrible things to block out the light every night so i can have a decent nights sleep!!

i wish i had my curtains back!! :(

Answer 5

i wear a sleeping mask because i have a t.v in my room and i need some backround noise but i cant stand the flickering lights coming off from it so i just wear a sleeping mask!

Answer 6

to block light

Answer 7

Just for kicks.

Answer 8

I like it to be DARK when I sleep, but I usually go to bed at 2 am and wake up at 10 am. The sleep mask keeps it dark for me until 10 am when I wake up.

Answer 9

because if there is any light it helps block out light. And have a good nights rest.
