Why is sleeping in a sleep bandage bad for your health?

As it turned out, this useful little thing has many drawbacks …

Audrey Hepburn gave us the fashion for this sleeping accessory after the melodrama “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” was released. Her character, Holly Golightly, loved getting up late, and the gold-laced headband in her favorite color was an indispensable aid.

And even now, most girls can find a similar one in a dresser … And if it is not at hand, then they are given to us in airplanes, hotels and even in some waiting rooms.

But, as it turned out, the irreplaceable little thing for a sound sleep has no less minuses than pluses!

According to scientists (of course, British!), Girls who abused the help of this accessory and use it every day suffered from early wrinkles much more often. No wonder, because the mask fits snugly to the face and can create creases on the skin, especially if you sleep with your face on the pillow.

But the researchers called the process of awakening in a bandage even more harmful.

“In the morning we react to the sun’s rays, and our sleep is no longer as deep as in the evening or at night. The bandage does not give us the opportunity to prepare for awakening. And getting up on the alarm will be stressful even at 10-11 am, ”they explain.

On the other hand, they see nothing wrong with using the bandage when the occasion requires it, such as a long day flight.

– The only harm of a bandage is addiction. Having made it a habit to fall asleep in pitch darkness, it will be difficult to go to the kingdom of Morpheus with the glare of the headlights and the light from the next room, says the therapist. – If now you have no problems with sleeping, then I would not advise buying a bandage just because it is fashionable or because everyone does it. Another question is if you suffer from insomnia or the schedules of all family members are different … Then the bandage can still provide a healthy 8-hour sleep. The main thing here is to weigh the pros and cons.
