This is more than an ordinary sleep mask—it blocks out light while letting me listen to music, meditation, or white noise without wearing uncomfortable earbuds. It makes sleeping on flights and in unfamiliar hotel rooms so much easier.

My husband likes this one because he isn’t a fan of eye masks. The hood helps block light and gives him a little privacy, while the memory foam supports his neck during long flights.

Some destinations and public bathrooms may not have toilet paper, so I like keeping a few of these compact tablets in my purse or day bag. Add a little water, and they expand into a useful disposable cloth.

I know what it looks like. When we travel internationally, we take this daily so we don't have any stomach issues, and it works. I usually put it in an old pill bottle and we take a teaspoon per day. Make sure you drink a lot of water.
