Darkening eye patch benefit. Night blindfold. Interesting models and reviews about them

Do you sleep well at night and get enough sleep? Sometimes I don't succeed at all. And at night, the traffic light looks into the windows with its colors and the bright sun hurts your eyes on weekends ... When you especially want to lie down and not be bothered by anything in the world!

I was advised to buy a blindfold, they said it helps! But why buy when you can make?

You will need:

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

We also take the remaining piece of duplicated fabric, apply it to the main one face to face, pin it and cut it off with a small allowance.

Step 4

Getting the tape ready. The finished tape is 2.5 cm wide and 49 cm long (already with 1 cm allowances on the sides). We make markings on cotton from two lines. The first will be the place of the fold, the second is the mark for sewing. There are 2.5 cm between them. We bend the cotton line face to face and iron it with an iron. Lay a line along the stitching mark.

Step 5

Now the resulting tape needs to be turned out on the face. We pierce one side with a safety pin and hide the tip with the loop of the pin inside the “tube”. We pass the pin through the entire “tube” - we pull it out by the tip and turn it inside out. Now you can iron a little. Then we insert with the help of the same safety pin an elastic band (39 cm with allowances of 1 cm). After that, the combined ends of the “tube” and the elastic band should be secured with a technical line.

Step 6

Let's add some decorative trim. To do this, stepping back from the edge of the finished allowance exactly 1 cm, we lay a technical line in a wide step. It is convenient to do this on a typewriter with a computer, where you can adjust the width of the needle pitch. Also, this line can be laid manually with a basting or drawn with chalk / soap so that the trace disappears later. We put a decorative cotton ribbon along the resulting line, shave a little with our fingers at a distance of 1 - 1.5 cm. You can also use a foot for shirring the braid. And you can replace my ribbon with lace - it's all a fantasy!

Step 7

Now we pin our finished ribbon with an elastic band to the resulting front part. Exactly according to the markup face to face. We fix with pins.

Step 8

We close our “sandwich” with the second part of the bandage face to face, and put the fleece on top of the second part, so that later it turns out inside the whole structure and gives softness. We fix with pins. We lay the line directly along the same technical line (if it was) - we observe the allowances. Carefully adjust the layer with decorative tape so that it does not move and does not fall into the seam. Be sure to leave an open space in order to turn the product on the face (it is best to leave a place on the top of the bandage, there are no curved lines. After stitching and leaving the free part, be sure to make cuts in the lower part of the bandage - in the bend itself, not reaching the line 2 mm So that in the end, when we turn the bandage on the face, this place does not have constrictions.

Step 9

We turn our design on the face. We carefully look at where we can see the technical line. We remove it. And at the top - leave it for the time of ironing. We align the parts, bend the upper parts in a free place and iron. I advise you to use a wooden cutting board or rolling pin after ironing the fragment. The tree quickly absorbs excess moisture and fixes the result well. Only your board should be new and clean, just for sewing!

Step 10

Eye patches are applied in case of damage to the eyeball, eyelids, and also after surgery in order to ensure complete rest. In the inflammatory process of the conjunctiva in the acute phase of its development.

An eye patch will help you achieve the following goals:

• protect the eye from external irritants: wind, cold, dust and other influences;
• when transporting patients in a medical facility;
• restless patients;
• after operation.

The bandage should fit snugly, while the patient should not have a feeling of squeezing. It can be superimposed on 1 eye and is called monocular or on two - binocular. The eyelids must be closed; a cotton-gauze napkin is first placed on them for protection. Absorbent cotton wool is used as a dressing material.

A monocular bandage is applied to the sore eye, but only if its movement under the compress is not contraindicated. The binocular blindfold helps in cases where the monocular is unable to provide complete peace. It is not recommended to apply a binocular compress to the elderly, as this can lead to various kinds of nervous disorders. The desmurgy of bandaging differs depending on the purpose of applying the compress. Making compresses is not difficult, but it is important not to forget about certain rules.

Protective bandage for both eyes

Indications for the application of this kind of compress is the fixing of the dressing in case of diseases of both eyes or various kinds of injuries, as well as in the postoperative period. For this you will need the following materials:

• bandage;
• cotton-gauze pads;
• adhesive plaster;
• scissors.

It is important to follow the dressing pattern

Consider the technique of applying a compress in stages:

1. Have the patient sit in a chair facing you.
2. Apply cotton-gauze pads to closed eyelids.
3. First, carry out fixing tours around the head. The reference points are the temporal and occipital protuberances.
4. Bandage to the right side.
5. In the back of the head, lower the bandage obliquely down and bring it out under the ear.
6. Next, bring to the right eye and lift the bandage to the forehead.
7. Then make a circle around the head and lower the bandage through the left eye.
8. Alternate rounds until the eye sockets are completely closed.
9. At the end fix the bandage.

Monocular bandage

A bandage over one eye is indicated for damage to the eye. You will need the following equipment: a wide bandage, cotton-gauze pad, scissors and a pin. You can close your eyes from top to bottom or from bottom to top.

It is more convenient to bandage the left eye from right to left, and the right eye - from left to right.

Consider the technique of applying a compress from the very beginning:

1. Make fixing tours around the head. Start doing this from the side of the damaged eye.
2. Make an oblique tour, directing the bandage to the eye, along the cheek and passing under the earlobe.
3. Make a fixing tour around the head, focusing on the tubercles of the occiput and temples.
4. Repeat the movements until the affected eye is closed.
5. At the end, cut the tip of the bandage into two parts and fix.

The technique of applying binocular and monocular compresses is somewhat different.

Types of eye patches

Eye patches can be used in the treatment of cataracts, strabismus, nervous tics and other pathologies. A properly applied bandage is the key to a speedy recovery. What are the types of eye compresses?

Recently, occluders have been increasingly used to treat strabismus. They are also used for amblyopia. This pathology is characterized by the fact that the eye is simply too lazy to work, while there are no functional disorders. At certain stages of treatment, the healthy eye is sealed. This encourages the second eye to work normally. Such a seal is called an "occluder" or "occlusive dressing". The sooner parents close their healthy eye, the better for the child. You can easily make an occluder at home with your own hands.

The black eye patch is associated with pirates, but in fact, not only they, but sailors also wore such blind patches. But why? The reason was that the ocean blinded the eyes due to sunlight, and in the hold, on the contrary, it was very dark. The trick was that the eye, which was closed from the light, opened in the hold and the sailors did not have to get used to a sudden change in lighting.

Another useful invention is the gel eye mask. Such masks are of various types and they differ in the performance of such functions:

• cold mask relieves fatigue, refreshes and helps to cheer up;
• warm, on the contrary, will help to relax and fall asleep faster;
• slightly heated helps relieve muscle spasm;
• the chilled mask has a tonic effect.

Such masks are used for colds, migraines, fever, as well as in the fight for youthful skin. The gel is hermetically sealed, so do not reassure yourself with the thought that it releases some substances or vitamins. Depending on the desired result, the mask is either cooled or, conversely, heated.

It is also worth highlighting postoperative compresses separately. Such patches have an adhesive base, but differ from occluders in that they have a thicker pad. It is able to absorb tears and mucus, but it does not stick to the wound. There are also plasters without an adhesive base, they also do not stick to the wound, but they should be fixed with a special fixing plaster.

At the end, we note the closing dressings for sleep. Scientists have long recognized that full healthy sleep is possible in the event of complete darkness. At night, the hormone melatonin is produced, which is responsible for cheerfulness and positive emotions. Light destroys this hormone.

Covering eye masks are convenient to use when traveling by plane, train, during daytime sleep, or in a situation where a light source is turned on nearby. In order to avoid the occurrence of allergic reactions, it is better to choose a mask from natural fabrics. It should not transmit light, for this the material must be quite dense.

So, summing up, it can be noted that eye patches are an effective tool in the fight against many pathologies. Properly applied bandage will help speed up the healing process and alleviate the disease. Eye compresses do a good job of protecting the eyes from light, dust, wind and other external irritants. Contact a specialist in a timely manner, do not ignore his recommendations. All this will help to avoid serious vision problems!

A sleep mask that provides absolute darkness to the eyes is becoming an increasingly popular accessory. Moreover, knowledgeable people understand that this is not a tribute to fashion, but elementary health care. Only sleeping in the dark contributes to the production of the hormone melatonin, which is responsible for good health during waking hours. The lack of a hormone in the body leads to a breakdown and premature aging.

A sleep mask is a piece of dense, light-transmitting fabric. It is kept in front of the eyes with elastic bands, ties or Velcro. Its purpose is to protect the eyes from any light sources during sleep.

The eyelids cannot create absolute darkness, as they let in light of any intensity, whether it is the moon shining through the window or the LED beacon of the switch. Therefore, reacting to the rays, the pupils send a signal to the brain, and the brain subconsciously starts working. Consequently, sleep phases change in an unnatural way, but under the influence of external factors, which negatively affects not only well-being, but also human health. When using a bandage, the light does not affect the natural change of sleep phases.

In this case, a sufficient amount of melatonin is produced, which provides the following benefits:

The sleep mask is a reliable protection against the penetration of light into the eyes, which ensures the natural passage of all phases of sleep for sufficient rest of the body. These conditions are necessary for human health and well-being.

Sleep glasses have no contraindications. If a person’s sleep is sufficient and organized in the dark, and during wakefulness he is energetic, then he does not need glasses.

But there are situations in which a sleep mask is necessary:

In other words, the mask will protect the eyes from the light at any time in any place when a person needs rest.

The growing popularity of sleep masks encourages manufacturers to develop more and more new models for every taste. Some focus on the quality of the material and ease of use, others focus on style and beauty, others use high technology for such a seemingly simple item.

To choose a bandage from the abundance of options offered by manufacturers, you need to follow a few rules:

• it must fulfill its intended purpose - to completely protect the eyes from light;
• should be light, tight-fitting and not press on various parts of the head;
• selected strictly by size;
• the presence of decor should not affect the usability;
• The mask must not contain harmful substances hazardous to health.

You can buy a sleep mask at a pharmacy, in a specialized bedding and linen store, in haberdashery departments, on the websites of manufacturing companies (for example, Bradex), in online stores. Prices range from 20 rubles to several thousand.

The choice of glasses for sleep depends on the individual characteristics and needs of a person, and the financial side of the issue is also important. The price of a well-known brand product will be ten times higher than the price of the Chinese version. However, in this case, the quality is directly proportional to the price.

Bandages for sleep are most often sewn from cotton, synthetics, silk or satin. According to customer reviews, cotton masks are the most comfortable. They fit snugly to the face, allowing the skin to breathe. Silk and satin are less comfortable to use due to the ease of sliding of the fabric over the skin of the face, but make the bandage a beautiful and stylish addition to the image. The most inconvenient and, therefore, the cheapest is an artificial material that does not adapt well to facial features, does not allow air to pass through and does not fully cope with its task of protecting from light.

Natural materials are hypoallergenic, which should be considered when choosing a mask for people suffering from allergies.

Inserts made of soft synthetic materials such as synthetic winterizer are sewn between the layers of fabric. In cheap versions, several layers of fabric are used for this.

An important role in choosing a bandage is played by its fastening elements on the head. If there are ties on the bandage, then there must be at least four of them (two on each side). Velcro and fasteners are dangerous in that hair can get tangled in them, but they perfectly regulate the size of the bandage. Elastic bands are comfortable to use, but can press or, conversely, be too loose. Both are not suitable for sleep, when a person needs increased comfort. Therefore, you need to choose a soft and wide, and most importantly, adjustable elastic band.

Designs and sizes vary depending on who the mask is intended for. Men's headbands for sleep are most often plain, with a strict cut. Women's options are represented by a wide range of colors and finishes. Masks for children are smaller, softer and brighter.

There are also cosmetic sleep masks that care not only about healthy sleep, but also about the beautiful appearance of the eyelids.

The most popular of them:

These bandages are suitable for home use. On business trips, it is better to use the classic convenient option.

There are smart sleep masks. Such bandages track the ideal time to wake up and send impulses to the brain at the right time.

Masks with a special elastic bridge for the bridge of the nose are designed for those who react painfully to any pressure in this place. Mask manufacturers also offer options with recesses for eyes that open when you wake up. There are also cooling and scented eye patches.

If the sleep mask is chosen successfully, then its use will not cause any side effects. On the contrary, customer reviews indicate a positive effect of the bandage. Those who have tried to sleep with a bandage can no longer refuse it. Wearing sleep glasses with earplugs will help you relax in any environment.

Mask care should include a weekly delicate wash. It is advisable to use it after removing impurities and cosmetics from the face. If hygiene is observed, the bandage will not bring trouble in the form of acne and irritation.

Needleworkers who know how to sew will love the idea of ​​making their own sleep mask. At the same time, it turns out not only a thing that is convenient, suitable in all respects, but also its design will be unique.

For its production, you need a little:

To make the pattern symmetrical and suitable in size, you need to draw a silhouette on paper, and then transfer it to the fabric, leaving allowances for the seams. Two identical pieces of fabric are obtained, which are sewn together. A slanting inlay is sewn along the edges of the product.

To attach an elastic band, do the following:

1. Cut the trim about 80 cm long.
2. Fold it in half and sew.
3. Pass an elastic band about 30 cm long into the resulting braid.
4. Sew tape on both sides of the mask.

The length of the elastic is selected depending on the size of the head.

A handmade sleep bandage can be an original gift for friends or family. The absence of restrictions on use makes it a gift option for a person of any age, gender and social status.

For softness inside the fabric, you can put a synthetic winterizer or foam rubber in a small amount. For lovers of pleasant smells, fragrant herbs, such as lavender or cottonseed, are sewn into sleep glasses. They also have a calming and healing effect. A homemade mask can be decorated to your liking with beads, bows, rhinestones.

There is an opinion that if desired, a person can fall asleep in any conditions. His eyes close involuntarily and he is completely disconnected from what is happening around him, falling asleep without any problems. Such luck is not given to everyone. Quickly sleep interferes with the rustle, noise, lighting. Therefore, auxiliary sleep accessories in the form of earplugs and special masks that protect the eyes from light have long been invented. What are sleep glasses really? What role do they play for a person and are they a luxury item or a necessity? You can answer unequivocally - this is a very valuable thing with which you can fully relax even in not the most suitable conditions.

There are many good reasons for having thick curtains in the room, not using nightlights for lighting, and not looking at the tablet before bed. Thanks to rest in the dark, a person manages to preserve youth, avoid cancer, fully restore strength, and get increased immunity.

It's important to know! Everything is explained very simply. In complete darkness, melatonin is easily produced. This hormone appears from the pineal gland only in the absence of light. It controls sleep and wake patterns. Under the action of the substance, blood pressure decreases, body temperature normalizes, and other positive processes occur in the human body for a calm and deep sleep.

There is a group of cells in the human brain that react to manifestations of darkness and light. With their help, the main body receives signals that it is time for him to go to sleep or wake up. These cells produce cortisol, a decrease in which in the dark causes a sleepy state in humans. In the daytime, its amount increases, which gives more strength and energy.

Sleeping in the dark has a beneficial effect on all processes in the body. The production of the right amount of these two substances helps to have a good rest. Night-time lighting from a TV or other device causes an increase in cortisol, resulting in trouble falling asleep. Untimely production of cortisol leads to disruption of sleep, appetite, as a result of which the stress resistance of the body decreases, and the functioning of the human immune system worsens.

Daylight sleep has been proven to reduce melatonin production by 50%, and blue light from gadgets further complicates matters.

Sleep mask: accessories features

Let's talk more about bandages.

Sleeping bandages are often called masks - a fabric special accessory designed to protect the eyes from any light source during sleep, used both at home and in transport.

Why and who needs it?

There are a huge variety of types of this accessory and your sleep depends on the right choice. The accessory creates the effect of complete darkness, which contributes to the production of the hormone melatonin in the body, which is responsible for a healthy sound sleep.

With the help of this attribute, it is possible to sleep peacefully during the daytime, this is acceptable for working people at night.

When you need to work at night and get a good night's sleep during the day, which is very difficult in bright daylight.

It often happens that one of the family members cannot fall asleep in the dark, he needs a night light or the light of a table lamp, as a rule, these are small children. And you can just fall asleep, experiencing irritation and anxiety from the rays that hit your eyes. And in this case, the bandage will again become an assistant for you.

Masks are very useful for people whose activities are related to working at a computer, as they relieve tension in the eye muscles well, restoring a healthy state of the eyes.

Types of masks and selection criteria

How to choose the right eye patch for sleeping? First, decide which mask you need, for this, use the following classification.

Design

Now in stores, in addition to universal masks, you can choose men's, women's or children's with different patterns and sizes. There are even cosmetic bandages that can also be used for sleep. Manufacturers often surprise buyers with their indefatigable imagination, so the choice of accessory depends on your tastes and interests.

Material: synthetic or natural fabrics?

As a rule, dressings are always very dense, completely eliminating the transmission of sunlight or artificial light.

When choosing synthetic fabrics, you may experience allergies, itching and unpleasant itching in the eye area. But the price of such dressings is several times less than natural ones. Doctors advise not to save on your health and choose only high-quality materials.

Natural fabrics include cotton and silk. Let's take a closer look at each of them. The cotton mask has adjustable dimensions, the filler, as a rule, is foam rubber or synthetic winterizer components. Such a bandage does not cause discomfort, pleasantly fits your eyelids, creates a soft and gentle touch with the skin. Has no downsides to use.

Silk material is suitable for all people, regardless of age and preferences, and is considered hypoallergenic, does not cause any undesirable effects. Good to use, durable, but has a huge drawback - this is a high price for the product.

Fillers - synthetic winterizer or gel?

As for the synthetic winterizer, we can say that this is a universal non-woven material with excellent properties: high service life, strength, safety, environmental friendliness.

Gel masks are a specialized cosmetic attribute that help smooth out unwanted wrinkles around the eyes, tone muscles, relax and relieve fatigue. Just like ordinary bandages, they are suitable for a restful sleep without letting in light.

They are flavored with a different smell of delicate essential oils of flowers and herbs. Perfect for women living in gassed megacities, they will be an excellent antidepressant after a hard day's work. With such bandages, various rollers and inserts are included in the kit:

• cooling gel will relieve fatigue;
• magnetic inserts in the form of glasses remove muscle hypertonicity, enhance skin regeneration;
• tourmaline threads normalize the nervous system and improve blood circulation;
• The overlay impregnated with copper oxide makes the skin smooth and velvety.

Before buying such bandages, consult a doctor or cosmetologist. And of course, don't overdo it.

A bandage for sleeping can be chosen solely depending on the material well-being of citizens. You can wear such a blindfold for no more than 12 hours a day.

Sleep dressing cost table:

Tip when choosing a sleep mask - never purchase this accessory with Velcro. Since such dressings quickly lose their fastening functions, and also become very tangled in the hair, causing discomfort and irritation to the owner.

Also, bandages with elastic bands can unpleasantly squeeze your temples, making it difficult to fall asleep, so before buying an accessory, measure the circumference of your head with a soft meter and choose a bandage according to the given parameters.

Remember, sleep bandages are completely unsuitable for girls who have eyelash extensions. Even with a single use, the cilia will stick together or may even remain on the bandage. Therefore, here the choice is yours - beauty or sleep.

For modern people seeking to acquire things, that is, produced in the age of electronic technology, there are “smart” sleep bandages. A special device stuffed with various electronic devices that allows you to read the state of a person at the current time.

It controls brain impulses by automatically switching from monophasic to polyphasic sleep. How it works?

A special electronic mask sends a signal to wake up by gradually increasing the light beam. A person after such a dream feels cheerful and well-sleeping.

The presence in the menu of different sleep modes will allow you to choose the one you need - long night or short daytime. This allows you to adjust the sleep cycle in people who work in shifts or in a person with the syndrome "mixed day and night."

This bandage is called NeuroOn and costs more than 10 thousand rubles. But doctors do not support enthusiasts of this purchase, since the body can get used to this accessory, and then a person will not be able to fall asleep at all until he puts on this bandage.

How to sew a blindfold for sleeping with your own hands

However, it is not necessary to spend big money on buying a sleep bandage. You can simply do it yourself, spending very little time. For this you will need:

1. Any soft fabric measuring 30 * 15 cm;
2. Filler - cotton wool, synthetic winterizer;
3. Interlining for finishing;
4. 30 cm of linen gum.

The first step is to measure your head from temple to temple across your forehead. This will be the width of your headband. Next, we make patterns, imitating glasses for the eyes. Before cutting out the template, add a centimeter to the sides for stitching.

Next, we attach the pattern to the fabric, we make a blank. Sew, leaving one side for the filler. Gently distribute the cotton wool evenly with the tips of the scissors, or the synthetic winterizer and sew it together. Take interlining or fringe, sew around the edges and fix the elastic at the ends of the bandage directly in the middle.

Iron the resulting product and use it for your health, or rather a sound and healthy sleep.
