    Sleeping with a mask helps me shut down my brain and get to sleep faster.

      Julie, I love that you answered this question. I have always struggled with getting to sleep. But I know that a well-rested me is capable of a lot more than a stressed-out-tired-scattered me. Thanks for the tip. Maybe it is time to invest in a mask.
