As a parent, it can be a struggle to get your child to sleep. With so many distractions in today's world, it can be difficult for kids to settle down and drift off to dreamland.

That's where the Blissy Junior Sleep Mask comes in. This adorable sleep mask is specially designed for young children and can be incredibly beneficial for kids, helping them get the rest they need.

Do Ambient Light Sources Interfere With Your Child's Sleep?

There are many light sources that can be disruptive to a child's internal clock and make it harder for them to fall asleep and stay asleep. For example, streetlights outside a bedroom window can produce enough light to keep a child from falling into a deep sleep.

Light from electronic devices such as phones and tablets can also be disruptive to sleeping, as the blue light emitted by these devices can suppress the production of melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate sleep.

Even small amounts of light from a nightlight or a hallway light can interfere with a child's sleep. For this reason, it's important to create a dark and calming sleep environment for your child, and a sleep or eye mask can be an easy and effective tool to help block out unwanted light sources.

Unlocking Sweet Dreams: How Sleep Masks for Kids Can Benefit Your Child's Sleep

Sleep masks are a great tool for both children and adults. They block out light, which can be especially helpful if your child's room is bright or if there are streetlights outside their window.

Sleep masks aid the production of melatonin by blocking light

According to SleepFoundation.org, "light exposure can suppress the secretion of melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate sleep and wake cycles" (2021). By wearing a sleep mask, your child's eyes and brain can better regulate their sleep cycle, making it easier for them to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.

Sleep masks promote relaxation and reduce anxiety

Another benefit of using a soft sleeping mask for kids is that it can help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. According to results of a study published in the Journal of Sleep Research, "the use of eye masks was found to decrease subjective sleep onset latency, enhance subjective sleep quality, and reduce anxiety symptoms in healthy participants" (2019).

By blocking out visual stimuli and promoting a sense of calm, sleep masks can be a helpful tool for children and adults who struggle with anxiety or have trouble relaxing at bedtime.

If they're scared of the dark

Many children have a fear of the dark, which can make it difficult for them to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night. The Blissy Junior Sleep Mask can be a helpful tool to address this issue, as it allows children to sleep with their nightlight on while still blocking out enough light to help them fall asleep.

Your child can easily peek out or lift the mask if they get scared, so they feel secure and confident the light is there if they need it as they drift off to sleep.
