Sleep masks that come in your hotel room or airplane seat (should you be so lucky) are usually flimsy, disposable, and pretty pointless, but we’re telling you: That doesn’t mean that they’re all worth throwing away. We hunted around the Internets and found sleep masks to suit every need (even if you don’t have one). We turned up with ten of the coolest-looking, most interesting, and highly functional sleep masks available. There’s even one to prevent dry eyes. Prices range from $4 to $79.95, so there’s no excuse to sleep without an eye mask, ever again.
Sorry – It was Amazon, not EBay. Here’s more info:

Washington Post: “..worth its weight in psychotropic drugs.” Frommer’s: “An ingenious new invention..”
Wow! – The title of this blog just blew me away! A new store just opened on EBay selling a product with the same name. Here is their product description:
As long as man has been on Earth, in order to sleep, people have covered their heads with animal skins, pieces of clothing, pillows, blankets, and finally simple eye masks. Never did anyone combine a light blocking sleep mask with sound blocking – until the invention of our product. The inventor of the Dreamcatcher, sleeping on a sailboat in 1998, awoke one morning from dreaming of a sort of pillow wrapped around his head. He quickly sketched the idea, made samples, and US patented his dreamed-up sensory inhibitor. This new royal blue suede model is dubbed Dreamcatcher, because it is a dream caught up into the real world. Travel experts from The Washington Post, Arthur Frommer’s Budget Travel Magazine, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and many others have praised this sleep-mask sound-blocking pillow, and thousands of people are now being helped by it. We are proud of this improved Dreamcatcher – with beautiful navy blue suede outside, 100% cotton that caresses your face, and secret pockets that hide more than a money belt. Dreamcatcher is a mask, pillow, money belt, and more – indispensable for the serious traveler – and a durable asset for rest at home, work or anywhere between. Sound works by air pressure, so it’s impossible to block it without sealing off the ear canal from outside air. Cups that clamp tight over the ears, electronic reverse-wave feedback earphones, or ear plugs are most effective. But it’s impossible to sleep with a bulky item that clamps tightly over the ears, and no fabric product with a small surface area can make any significant sound reduction. So honestly, don’t buy the Dreamcatcher, or any other sleep product, believing it will block out all sound. The pillow part of the Dreamcatcher, containing a large area of sound block material, with the foam earplugs, will block most sound input – but still not 100%. We say this with confidence, because the Dreamcatcher is the best at what it does – the king of all sleep masks.
i’m definitely getting the glo to sleep one!
