The pressures of modern life make it more important than ever to get a good night's sleep every night. But with our brains often working overtime, not to mention the distraction of traffic noise and other external sounds, it can sometimes be easier said than done to unwind and drift off into a restful slumber.

Smart sleep masks can help you fast-track your sleep time. Inside their light-blocking, comfortable foam exteriors, are flat headphones designed for sleeping on your side. Pair your sleep mask with your smartphone and you can enjoy your favorite audiobook, chillout tunes, or relax to the sounds of nature, while you are lulled into a blissful sleep.

Here are the best smart sleep masks right now.

With a wider and deeper eye space than many other sleep masks, this Musicozy mask allows total comfort for its user. Deep eye hole space means that your eyelids won’t rub against the inside of the mask, and soft memory foam cushions your face and is breathable enough that it won’t provide any distraction to falling asleep.

Built-in Bluetooth headphones can be quickly charged in up to two hours, and provide up to 10 hours of playtime. They pair easily with any Bluetooth device and provide full HD stereo sound. They are also ergonomically designed for side sleepers, so won’t put any pressure on your ears when lying down.

This Musicozy smart sleep mask has a microphone for hands-free calls, and both headphones are easily removed when it’s time to wash the mask itself.

This is a great smart sleep mask. Perfect for anybody who would rather fall asleep to the calming sounds of ocean waves lapping against the shore—instead of lying awake listening to the rumbling snarls of their partner’s snoring.

Lightimetunnel Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless 3D Eye Mask

With this smart sleep mask, you’ll find a 3D space for your eyes built-in, and enough space around your nose to ensure there’s no obstruction to your breathing. Its comfortable, adjustable strap won’t get tangled up in your hair (if you’re lucky enough to still have some), and soft memory foam makes wearing the mask itself a pleasure.

The noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones can be paired to your smartphone as easily as turning on a tap, and create an isolated space for you to concentrate on relaxation. A couple of hours are needed to fully charge them, and you’ll get between eight and ten hours of HD stereo sound playback time by doing so.

Control whatever you’re listening to with the press of one of the buttons that sit above the bridge of the nose on this sleep mask, or make and take calls if needed. A travel bag is included here so that you can easily take your mask and charger cable with you to help you unwind when you’re on the go.

LC-Dolida Bluetooth Sleep Mask

This smart sleep mask from Topoint is made from a fabric called ice silk which is a softer form of silk, designed to provide a breathable and cooling effect for your face. Great news for anyone looking to wear their sleep mask on a nightly basis.

The mask itself blocks out 99 percent of all light and can be fully adjusted for your comfort. On the downside, it does not have a 3D space for your eyes so doesn’t provide quite the same level of cushioning as some other smart masks.

However, its Bluetooth headphones are slimmer than some others and have been designed for the comfort of people who prefer to sleep on their side. They need to be charged for about two and a half hours and will give you a nine-hour playback time. These headphones are not noise-canceling, however, and you may wish to take this into consideration when choosing which smart mask is right for you.

Nevertheless, this is still an eminently effective smart mask for anyone troubled with insomnia and could provide you with your ticket to luxurious, uninterrupted sleep.

TOPOINT Bluetooth Sleep Eye Mask

This 3D sleep mask provides comfortable and deep pockets for your eyes to sit inside, and is made from breathable memory foam that won’t lose its shape.

It houses an extra-slim pair of Bluetooth headphones that won’t aggravate your ears, no matter what position your head lies in. Noise reduction technology helps you filter out all those troubling sounds around you, and lets you become one with sleep again.

Fully charged, these headphones will last for around 10 hours; and should anybody have the audacity to call you while you’re trying to sleep, you can easily answer the call thanks to the built-in microphone. Sleep timers can also be set to switch off whatever you choose to listen to, if you’d rather not have sound playing throughout the night.

Slightly higher priced than some other smart sleep masks, but not excessively so, this 3D sleep mask is still a good option for night time sleeping, or even a sneaky siesta when everybody else is out of the house!

COLIFRSC Bluetooth Wireless Sleep Headphones

This 3D sleep mask from Reeko is the only mask on our list that comes complete with 10 built-in white noises to choose from, which is handy if you’re not sure what to select from your favourite music or audio platforms.

It charges in about two and a half hours and is good for between six to eight hours of playback. This is a bit less than other similar smart sleep masks, but should still be more than adequate for most people’s needs.

The headphones include a microphone for phone calls, and timer functions for complete shutdown—if you’re looking to preserve a bit of battery life. They are a thin design, which again aids side sleeping, which of course is one of the best sleep positions for easy breathing.

This smart mask lacks a bit of the sheen of its competitors, and you might decide that you prefer the aesthetics of some of the other designs instead. However, in terms of functionality, this is a perfectly serviceable option, and still worthy of your consideration.

This could be the smart mask for you, and could entice Mr Sandman to bring you a dream.
