Sweet Dreams Eye Pillow

Many years ago when I lived in Italy, I managed a live music club. This meant working late into the night and often I would go to sleep in the wee hours of the morning. These hours can play havoc with your body clock and I sometimes had difficulty getting to sleep. A friend suggested an eye mask, like the ones they give you on long haul flights, she said it worked for her so I gave it a shot.

Many years later and I still have an eye mask on my bedside table but something I find that works even better is an eye pillow. Anyone who has done yoga would have used something similar, they are often filled with lavender - I like a little more weight so I have filled these with linseeds. I love the cool silkiness of the material on my eyes and that gentle weight of the eye pillow I find really does help me fall asleep. I think it works a treat, who needs a pill!
