E! illustration/Courtesy of DROWSYTraveling can be stressful, especially when you're going from timezone to timezone and catching redeyes after redeyes. While it would be great if our bodies could naturally fall asleep by sheer force of will, that's not always how it works. Whether it's the sound or the light of our surroundings, we need something that blocks it all.

Of course, they're not all created equal. And you don't have to try out tens of them, not when there's thousands of reviewers that swear by the eye masks we found below. In fact, they like them so much they have one for their homes and one exclusively for travel.
