00:00:00 --> 00:00:05 An in-depth review of my latest tech gadget, a Bluetooth sleep mask.

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07 Tune in for the details.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11 Hello,

00:00:11 --> 00:00:14 and welcome to Momo 634,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:18 the daily podcast chock full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21 Please like, share, and subscribe.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:27 Momo 634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45 Long-time listeners know I struggle with getting to sleep,

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47 staying asleep,

00:00:47 --> 00:00:51 and the poor quality of the sleep I actually manage to get.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55 Use the keyword sleep in the searchable episode guide at

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58 momo634.com and you'll see

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02 how many episodes have been devoted to this issue alone.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04 Recently,

00:01:04 --> 00:01:08 I told you all about a game changer for me in the form of

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09 binaural beats.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11 In that episode,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:15 I mentioned my desire to get a Bluetooth sleep mask to amplify,

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17 no pun intended,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18 those benefits,

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21 because the science behind binaural beats is that there are

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22 different frequencies

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24 in each ear.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:28 The mask aids in tricking the brain into hearing the difference

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29 between the frequencies.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34 I'm linking that episode below this one as it explains the science.

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37 True to my word, I did get a mask.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40 Not the cheapest, nor the most expensive.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44 I've used it for both naps and at bedtime.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:49 After seeing it, hubby and my oldest son decided to get one also.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52 Here's what I can tell you thus far.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54 what I love.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57 It's super plush.

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59 It's very,

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00 very soft,

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04 and the fabric at the nose for blocking out the light is soft,

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07 and it really keeps things dark,

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10 something helpful for my migraines also.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13 There is no pressure on the eyes.

00:02:14 --> 00:02:17 The adjustable headband isn't Velcro,

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20 so it doesn't grab onto hair or a pillow.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24 I do have to put my hair in a low ponytail to accommodate the strap,

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26 but that's not a big deal.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29 No matter if you sleep on your back,

00:02:30 --> 00:02:30 stomach,

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31 or side,

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33 this mask is comfortable.

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38 It fully disassembles and can be machine washed and dried.

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39 It comes with a charging cord,

00:02:40 --> 00:02:41 more on that in a bit,

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44 and a satin case to store everything in.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46 What I didn't love.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:51 There was a really, really heavily fragrant sachet in the box.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:54 As someone with asthma, this was yucky.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57 Thankfully, the scent didn't transfer to the mask.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:03 There isn't one thing about the mask itself that I found to be

00:03:03 --> 00:03:03 a deal breaker.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05 What to watch out for.

00:03:05 --> 00:03:10 The buttons can be a bit tricky as the unit moves around a bit

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11 inside the housing.

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15 This is easily solved by just holding it in place.

00:03:16 --> 00:03:19 The volume was either too loud or too soft.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:25 This too was easily solved by moving the earpieces away inside

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26 the housing rather

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28 than having them directly over my ears.

00:03:29 --> 00:03:32 This also helped to address the concern below.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:36 I initially felt the earpieces dig into my ears.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:41 As a side sleeper, I felt the earpieces inside the housing.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:46 As mentioned, this setup is pretty plush, but I could still feel it.

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48 Since I felt the volume was too low,

00:03:49 --> 00:03:53 I solved both issues by turning up the volume by one and moving

00:03:53 --> 00:03:53 the earpiece

00:03:53 --> 00:03:56 further away until I didn't feel it any longer.

00:03:57 --> 00:04:02 the charging cord isn't very long my adjustable bed has a usb

00:04:02 --> 00:04:03 port but it didn't

00:04:03 --> 00:04:07 reach very well i used my laptop port but because i keep my

00:04:07 --> 00:04:10 laptop closed or off it

00:04:10 --> 00:04:14 wasn't tremendously helpful so i purchased a longer cord

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15 This isn't a deal breaker,

00:04:16 --> 00:04:20 just a minor inconvenience initially until the longer cord arrived.

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24 My husband and I have very different nighttime routines.

00:04:25 --> 00:04:29 He likes the TV on and the flashing lights bother my eyes.

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32 With the mask, I don't see or hear the TV.

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36 I'm a super light sleeper,

00:04:36 --> 00:04:42 so I will often grunt or groan or say uh-uh in my sleep if I

00:04:42 --> 00:04:42 hear something.

00:04:43 --> 00:04:47 Hubby says since I've started using the mask, I sleep much deeper.

00:04:48 --> 00:04:48 In fact,

00:04:49 --> 00:04:52 he held a conversation with my youngest who came to our door last night,

00:04:52 --> 00:04:54 and I didn't hear a thing.

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56 To sum it all up,

00:04:56 --> 00:04:57 I go to sleep faster,

00:04:58 --> 00:04:58 for longer,

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01 and deeper than I ever have in the past.

00:05:02 --> 00:05:06 These three things alone are worth the price and the few other

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08 minor inconveniences listed.

00:05:09 --> 00:05:09 It's plush,

00:05:10 --> 00:05:11 it keeps the light out,

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13 and can be fully disassembled for washing.

00:05:14 --> 00:05:18 Because sleep quality is inextricably linked to mood issues,

00:05:18 --> 00:05:22 this has been a fabulous find and an investment in my mental health.

00:05:23 --> 00:05:26 See the linked mask at the Amazon link below.

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29 I've detailed how this item worked for me.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:31 Your mileage may vary.

00:05:33 --> 00:05:38 As Proverb 324 says, when you lie down, you will not be afraid.

00:05:38 --> 00:05:41 When you rest, your sleep will be sweet.

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45 Our Momoism for today says,

00:05:45 --> 00:05:48 aren't you worth an investment in your mental health?

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51 Do you have a gadget like this?
