The problem with virtually all sleeping masks on the market is that they leave a lot of room near your nose for light to come in.

<Ciro Santilli> discovered a useful workaround for that: make the mask tighter with a swimming goggles!

Just make the goggles as loose as possible to not put pressure on your eyes, and then strap them over the sleeping mask.

If you are a back sleeper, put the googles forward as normal. If you are a stomach sleeper, put the googles on the back of your head, and the straps over the mask. This way you wont get your head squished by the goggles and the bed.

Once Ciro understood the idea, Googling "swimming googles sleeping mask" led to: https://mantasleep.uk/ might be a good option.

Another good Google is "sleeping mask blackout".
