Fast Facts
What Is The Nodpod?
The Nodpod is a sleep mask and a weighted blanket for your eyes thats available on nodpod.com andAmazon.
(FWIW, it has an average 4.5-star rating with nearly 5,000 reviews.)
Instead of a strap, it has four bean-bag-like chambers or pods and two long, flat sides.
The Nodpod works well as asleep maskat night and when you want to take a mid-day nap.
The pressure also feels soothing when you have a headache.
The ends of the Nodpod are bead-free, so they wont feel lumpy under your head.
And its also machine washable, so you dont have to worry if your nighttime skincare leaves a mark.
Would it help me sleep better?
Would it soothe away my pre-bed worries?
(Nodpod saysthree minutes with the weighted maskis often all you gotta feel relaxed.)
Im alifelong stomach sleeper, but Ive been trying to make the switch.
The weight also encouraged me to lie still and chill, and I cant complain about that.
The weight of the mask also seemed to slow everything down, sort of like a soothingsensory deprivation chamber.
Sleeping, though, was another thing.
Once I figured it out, the mask stayed put while I snoozed.
I also tried some side sleeping action.
After I got it in place, the mask definitely blocked the light, and it felt super comforting.
The cute colors are also a big draw.
(I got the sage green.)
The Nodpod straps were a little finicky, but I did eventually sort them out.
It is so cozy, after all.
