As a health writer, I\u2019ve tried my fair share of products over the years to help with my anxiety<\/a>, headaches<\/a>, and sleep. Although I stick to a plant-based diet<\/a> and exercise regularly, these are still issues I struggle with from time to time\u2014so I\u2019m always looking for things that will help close that gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anxiety is something I’ve dealt with all my life\u2014and while it can either come out of the blue or arise from specific situations, I’m triggered by certain sensitivities as well. At times, this can be light, whether it\u2019s from fluorescent bulbs or the sun.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My headaches can certainly be worsened by light from the outdoors or my computer screen. And if there\u2019s even a hint coming into my bedroom at night, I might as well forget about sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since my body and mind are so sensitive to this, I\u2019ve always wanted an\u00a0eye mask<\/a>\u2014but I\u2019ve never come across a\u00a0great<\/em>\u00a0eye mask. I\u2019ve tried a few, but none of them truly felt good.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m someone who, despite my aversion to light while sleeping, can\u2019t sleep with an eye mask on overnight, but I\u2019ve continually been on the lookout for one that could help when I\u2019m feeling anxious or experiencing a pounding headache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why I was intrigued when I had the opportunity to try the Saatva Weighted Silk Eye Mask<\/span>. I\u2019ve used weighted blankets for a long time, and they\u2019ve always made me feel better\u2014but a weighted eye mask? This was a new concept to me, and something I was willing to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahead, I\u2019ll talk through the features of the eye mask and provide a weighted eye mask review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Saatva Weighted Silk Eye Mask?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Saatva Weighted Silk Eye Mask<\/span> is essentially a weighted blanket for your face and eyes. Rendered in mulberry silk (also known as the best type of silk on the market today), it provides deep pressure stimulation, which is ideal if you\u2019re hoping to quickly drift off to dreamland or banish a headache.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available in white, sand, and graphite, this silk weighted eye mask acts as therapeutic relief, meant for those times when light is creeping into the room or when you\u2019re traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saatva Weighted Silk Eye Mask review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been using the weighted silk eye mask for several weeks now, and I\u2019m here to tell you that it makes a difference. Although I\u2019m still not able to sleep with an eye mask overnight (some people just don\u2019t love the feeling of something on their face overnight, while others adore an eye mask), I basically used it for everything else: Headaches. Tired eyes. And all those anxious moments in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve found that it levels up my relaxation. When my nerves are raw, I dab some lavender oil on my pulse points, put on the mask and some Enya, and suddenly feel incredibly soothed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tired eyes. And all those anxious moments in between.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I love putting it on for a few minutes after my bedtime bath and before going to sleep, just to feel a bit calmer before drifting off. And it\u2019s fantastic for headaches and even migraines. I\u2019ve had some doozies lately, and that weight on my eyes and face have brought such relief, especially when I diffuse peppermint oil nearby too. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve also found that it\u2019s wonderful for cat naps<\/a>. I can\u2019t seem to sleep with an eye mask overnight, but I do find that I can for short naps, particularly when the sun seeps into my bedroom in between the cracks of the window shades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s so soft.<\/em> As someone who is majorly picky when it comes to anything that\u2019s tactile, I can say that it feels lovely. Overall, I\u2019m so glad that I have this silk weighted eye mask on hand for all of these tense moments in my life.<\/p>\n\n\n
