Allow me to let you in on a little secret: I can’t sleep without a sleeping mask because watching the first Insidious movie when it first came out in 2010 has traumatised me for life (in particular, that scene where the kid who’s supposed to be in a coma walks past his brother’s doorway). As somebody who’s gone through many, many sleeping masks and literally cannot function without one, I’m here to tell you that sleeping masks are an absolute game changer.

We all have those nights where no matter what we do, we just can’t fall asleep. Well, sleeping masks can actually help you with that! Light can disturb your biological clock, as it makes your body think that it’s still daytime. By using a sleeping mask that blocks all light, your body knows that it’s now night time, and that you should be asleep. In turn, your sleeping schedule will be more regulated, and you’ll be able to fall asleep faster when it’s bedtime.

That being said, let’s check out the best sleeping masks in Malaysia for you to get some good shut-eye!
