How a Sleep Mask for Women Helps Improve Sleep

Learn how a sleep mask for women helps improve sleep. Read this to know your options. Plus, explore interesting sleep facts for women.


It goes without saying that a good night's sleep is important for your well-being. It gives you the energy to live out your day as fully as possible. And this can be a challenge for women who have sleep issues.


A sleep mask with an excellent light-blocking feature can help women get better zzzs. It helps create a dark environment essential to good sleep quality.


In this article, we'll discuss how women sleep and the pros of using a sleep mask for women. We'll also take a look at the different sleep masks our female customers love.

How Sleep Can Be Difficult For Women

Studies have shown that there are differences in the way women and men sleep. According to Sleep Foundation, good sleep quality can be harder to come by for women(1).


One example of this is that women are more likely to suffer from insomnia than men. OASH says that 1 in 4 women experience symptoms like difficulty falling and staying asleep(2).


As you know, sleep deprivation leads to fatigue, difficulty concentrating and irritability. Not to mention other health issues associated with constant sleep deprivation. Heart disease, diabetes and obesity, to name a few.


Women also experience sleep difficulties before and during menstruation. As their period nears, they tend to lose out on deep and restful shuteye. Shifting hormonal levels may lead to sleeplessness and a low mood.


Web MD says that premenstrual syndrome symptoms can also make sleep difficult(3). Think about it. Bloating, cramps and lower back or abdomen pain don’t make for a good night’s rest.


Another sleep disorder that affects women is restless leg syndrome (RLS). It’s a condition wherein the sleeper feels an irrepressible urge to move their legs. They feel tingling or crawling sensations typically in their calves.


Just to be clear, RLS isn’t unique to women. But it's associated with pregnancy, according to the National Library of Medicine(4).


Menopause is also linked to sleep disruptions. This is primarily caused by hot flashes, where women wake up sweating.


Menopause can also lead to sleep apnea. This is a condition wherein you stop and start breathing during sleep. Loud snoring is one symptom.


And while women aren’t more light-sensitive than men, this can also be a problem. Light sensitivity disturbs the 24-hour body clock known as the circadian rhythm. This clock is what regulates the sleep-wake cycle.


Light exposure during the day helps us stay awake and alert. But excessive exposure to light at night can be problematic.


Darkness signals our body to rest. It also triggers the release of the sleep hormone, melatonin.


Light sensitivity can prevent women from getting restful zzzs. And this is on top of other sleep issues mentioned above. This is where a sleep mask for women comes in handy.

💡 Key Takeaway: In some cases, women are more prone to sleep disturbances than men, including insomnia. Pregnancy, menopause and menstruation are linked to certain sleep disorders. To improve their quality of rest, women should consider using a sleep mask.

Let’s take a look at the benefits in the next section.

Benefits of a Sleep Mask for Women

Sleep masks are a great way for women to improve their sleep quality. In some cases, they can also reduce stress.


We already mentioned that they block out light for efficient melatonin production. Enough of this hormone makes a big difference in drifting off faster and staying asleep.


A sleep mask for women is very helpful for frequent travelers and night shift workers.


If you’re the former, crossing many time zones can wreak havoc on your sleep-wake cycle. It’s important to follow your destination’s time once you get on the plane or train. A sleep mask helps block out light so you can sleep with less distraction.


Also, sleeping in a new environment can be extra difficult. Travelers often face the First Night Effect. It’s a phenomenon wherein sleeplessness happens on the first night away from home. Unfamiliar surroundings lead to anxiety.


A sleep mask helps by blocking out unfamiliar surroundings. This allows you to get the restful sleep you need.


For women working the night shift, an eye mask helps make sleeping much easier. Night-shift warriors have to deal with daylight as they get ready to go to bed. It’s much more difficult for them to get quality sleep compared to the rest of the world.


So there you have it. A sleep mask for women can be incredibly beneficial. The next section discusses the ones favored by our female customers.

💡 Key Takeaway: A sleep mask for women may help improve sleep quality by blocking out light. This allows the body to produce melatonin more efficiently. It can also provide stress relief when sleeping in unfamiliar environments.

Types of Sleep Masks for Women

Okay, so now we’re done talking about the benefits of a sleep mask for women. Let’s move on to the different kinds that our customers swear by.

Silk Sleep Mask for Women

A silk eye mask offers an extra layer of luxury when it comes to getting quality shut-eye. It’s one of the most popular sleep masks for women. Depending on the silk’s quality, the sleep mask is lightweight yet still blocks out enough light.


High-quality silk is breathable. It offers temperature regulation, to keep you cool and comfy the whole night through.


Another great thing about silk is its natural anti-aging properties. The smooth texture is also kinder on your skin, reducing the likelihood of sleep wrinkles.


Allow us to introduce you to our version of a silk sleep mask for women, Manta Sleep Mask SILK.

LEARN ABOUT SILK

We made this sleep mask for women with premium silk. It offers 100% blackout and is infinitely adjustable.


It comes with detachable 30 momme silk eye cups so you feel zero pressure on your eyes and lashes. Position the cups anywhere in the 20 momme silk head strap’s interior for a custom fit. This silk mask has a micro hook and loop closure that won’t snag your hair.


Take a look at what our customers have to say.

Feedback on Manta Sleep Mask Silk

Exactly as advertised!

"I was a bit skeptical at first. These masks are expensive! But my boyfriend is an ER doctor who has to be able to sleep whenever as needed and swears by his (so do all his doctor friends who work nights) so I bought one. I love it. It totally blocks the light, stays on all night, and is extremely comfortable - I barely notice it! I have sensitive skin and the silk is great as my skin is very happy with it. Highly recommend buying one!"

— Kelly J.

Deep sleep

"My sleep experience has been improved since making this purchase. I live in a very large and bright city and had trouble getting a good deep sleep at night due to the city lights from buildings, street lights, etc. My sleep mask blacks out all the lights and the silk material doesn’t irritate my skin."

— Simone W.

Protects Long Eyelashes!

"This silk sleep mask is an absolute game changer. Over the past few years, I have been using other brands' sleep masks, but they were completely destroying my natural eyelashes. I would wake up and they would be tangled and crushed. This mask from Manta provides excellent light blocking + protects your eyelashes because of the design. It washes well on a delicate cycle with silk detergent. I love this mask."

— Mary M.

Cooling Sleep Mask for Women

If you have trouble sleeping and need a quick and easy way to relax, you might want to use a cooling eye mask. These sleep masks give a cold sensation to help relax you, making it easier to fall asleep.


Cooling eye masks are also good for refreshing tired skin around your eyes. They can also ease puffiness and itchiness caused by allergies. Some swear by them to help relieve symptoms of migraines and sinusitis.


If a cooling mask suits your needs, why not give Manta COOL Mask a shot?

LEARN ABOUT COOL

Like our other sleep masks, this one is adjustable from its head strap down to the eye cups. We designed it to fit any adult head size and eye position. And its near-blackout design helps prevent light from disrupting your naps.


The cooling power lies in the cups, which are filled with beads. Put the cups in the freezer for an hour to trigger the cooling function. Or better yet, store them inside the accompanying freezer-safe bag for use anytime.


They have indentations in their centers so there’s minimal direct pressure on your eyes. We designed them with cool compression therapy in mind. Unlike the other masks, we designed this to give your eye area a gentle massage as well.

Feedback From Our Customers On Manta Cool Mask

Best thing I have ever bought!

"It feels so good to sleep with this cooling mask on, I literally couldn't be without it now! I feel so much more refreshed when I wake up and it's so soothing and comfortable to sleep with! If you are in doubt buying it, I'm telling you, you will not regret this purchase 🤩💤"

— Nanna M.

New favourite eye mask

"I love that this mask is adjustable for one thing and I love that the eye cups can be put in the freezer but won’t give you freezer burn when using them on your eyes and that you can get the weight in the whole eye socket instead of just the bottom and the brow bone like other eye masks. So much better for me, especially when migraines and sinus issues hit."

— Seana G.

Great product

"I suffer with sinus headaches. I bought the mantas mask with the eye patches that I can freeze. I use this mask and I find such relief from my headaches. I will order one for napping for other days soon. It’s great for me on days that are hard with headaches."

— Margy W.

Women have many options when it comes to sleep masks. Some offer special features apart from superior light blocking.

💡 Key Takeaway: Sleep masks are a great way for women to get the restful sleep they need. They offer various benefits such as silk for luxurious comfort and anti-aging properties. Cooling masks relax and soothe headache symptoms.
