Alaska Bear Sleep Mask
Good quality sleep is essential for doing your best work.

A good eye mask saves the day if you need a nap or sleep somewhere that doesnt keep out all the light at night. I was reminded of that this week while sleeping on a plane and staying in a hotel just off the bright lights of Times Square.

There are so many options out there, and Ive bought more expensive ones, but nothing beats the quality and design of the Alaska Bear sleep masks. They contour your eyes to ensure no light gets in while being very gentle on your face. For under 20 bucks, its one of my best purchases. I take mine everywhere.

If you have any ideas or feedback, reply to this email.

Thanks, and stay awesome,

Niall
