The Ostrichpillow Eye Mask Was My Missing Link for Better Naps

I have never been a good napper, which is not just a massive inconvenience but kind of… embarrassing? I’m an adult, a tax-paying person who has figured out most other Important Life Stuff, such as owning a good vacuum, installing nice shelves, and occasionally finishing an entire container of spinach. What did I need to master the art of the power nap one and for all?
“Dude, you just need an eye mask,” was the advice from my friends, but I always struggled to find a sleep mask that fully blocked out light. When I nap, I want to be immersed in Vantablack levels of darkness. I’m an anxious sleeper who will fixate on even the smallest flashing charger, and while I loved the feel of classic silk eye masks, there was always a point when the light would creep in, and I would be jolted awake.
