If you find yourself sleepy all day, but then at night you struggle to get off to the land of nod, this viral sleep aid could help you drift off loads faster. Here’s what we made of it
Sometimes, it seems like you can never get enough sleep.
Even though it is something that I’ve always found relatively easy, I’ve always wondered about what the quality of my rest has actually been like. Could I perhaps fall asleep even faster? Would sleep feel nicer if I was able to listen to a podcast while I did it? Or would it have the opposite effect on me? I had no idea.
So when I heard about a viral product called SnoozeBand, I was very intrigued. The innovative eye mask plays sounds to you while you drift off – whether it’s music, podcasts, relaxing sounds or white noise.
You can connect to it via Bluetooth and then get snuggly into bed. Users have the option to set a timer for the device to turn off after one, two or three hours.
And according to rave reviews on TikTok, it’s been helping people get to the Land Of Nod a lot quicker. So I decided to give it a go myself to see if it lived up to the hype. Here’s what I thought…
So, to put it to the test and compare how well I slept, I tried the viral ‘Snoozeband,’ which has been all over my social media as people
SnoozeBand review
Even though the product has comfortable foam padding, I soon ran into trouble. One major drawback for me was that I just couldn’t get comfortable.
As someone who already sleeps with a hair bonnet to protect my hair, it can get a little bit tricky and it just ended up slipping off. It also turns out that
What’s more, I don’t enjoy the feeling of something putting pressure on my head as I sleep. Nor do I want to listen to anything as I sleep. It irritated me more than helped.
But for others, it’s seriously soothing, and the sound of rain falling or ASMR really helps them to nod off. And my partner was a massive fan of the product when he borrowed it.
He said: “It’s great. I’ll be using it every day from now on. I like how comfortable it is. I’ve had dupes before, and the speakers hurt my ears when I lay on them, but this one is slimmer and easier to sleep on.
“I like the feature where it turns off after two hours because it’s just enough time for you to fall asleep soundly. It would work really well on planes, as it can double up as an eye mask or even when you’re out exercising as a headband. It definitely helped me to get to sleep faster without annoying Danielle by playing things out loud.”
If you want to try the Snoozeband, it will cost you around £39.99. While I wasn’t a huge fan, the product is well-loved by many. It has more than 1,000 five star reviews, plus there’s a money-back guarantee and a year warranty that comes with the device.
