If there is one thing that can completely destroy the quality of your power nap, it’s light. So a good eye mask can be a game changer when it comes to power napping.
Below are five different light blocking devices I’ve tested and my thoughts on each one. I’ve listed the devices from least effective to most effective.
1. OstrichPillow Light
Pros
Cons
Star rating: 1 out of 5
2. The Hibermate
Pros
Cons
Star rating: 2.5 out of 5
3. OstrichPillow Original
Pros
Cons
Star rating: 3 out of 5
4. A cotton scarf
Pros
Cons
Star rating: 4 out of 5
5. The Sleep Master
Pros
Cons
Star rating: 4.5 out of 5
To sum up
So there you have it! Five different eye masks to enhance (or destroy) your napping experience.
Some eye masks I recommend you avoid, whereas others like the Sleep Master are worth investing in if you’re seriously into napping. But at the end of the day, I didn’t find that there was much of a difference between a soft scarf and the Sleep Master.
My best advice: save your hard earned money and make do with a scarf!

Thanks Jane, I love your lowest tech, lowest cost solution!
My current eye cover is a long cotton sock which happened to be on the top of pile of clothes on the chair next to the one I was sitting in when I found myself doxing off and wanted something to block out the pesky light. Like the scarf, it works surprisingly well!
Hey Kath
A long cotton sock would certainly do the trick!
I’m sure with your handy sewing skills you could easily transform that cotton sock into an eyemask 🙂
Happy napping!
