I have had many sleep masks and all have a problem with light coming in from below. Will I have a problem with this one as well?

No, it's pretty light-tight. I recommend the mask and I did a lot of comparisons before finally deciding to get this one. Even if it's the middle of the day with sun streaming through the window, once you put this on, it's lights out.

Little cracks.. depending on facial structure. .. I love it. .. giant lights come on at the fire station and I only see tiny cracks

I think it depends on the shape of your face and nose. Some people think it works well for them. Unaltered, it's not ideal for me--some light still gets through, although it's much better than anything else I've tried. If you're at all savvy with a needle and thread, I think it would take little effort to add something to the padding around the nose, to customize it to your own face's shape. Btw, I'm a woman with a small nose and fairly delicate facial structure.

It blocks most light and the tiny bit you can see coming from the bottom of the mask is so minimal it will not disrupt sleep. However, the mask frame is pretty rigid and if you are a side sleeper, your pillow will push it out of position which will cause a lot more light to get in. I wrote about this in my review, too.

I haven't had a problem with any light coming through. I tend to be pretty sensitive to the tiniest amount of light when sleeping and haven't had any issues with the mask.

Unfortunately this one also lets in a little light, but not as much as some. I really don't think there is one that doesn't. That being said this one is pretty good. I will ad a caveat I had to remove the Velcro on the elastic strap to make the mask a little more comfortable, otherwise it is a bit scratchy.

I have had the same issues before and I would say this is the best mask I have used/had in that regard.

I have not had a problem with light.I kinda wish the nose curve was a bit higher, but I guess I have a longer bridge. For a female face it will probably be perfect.

Not really. I have had my mask now for 8 months and am a teacher and am able to sleep late on summer mornings. We only have blinds in our bedroom and no curtains, so by 7:00 its kind of bright. I am able to sleep comfortably in a 'black out state'. It is true though, if the mask slips up on my face a little, then if I look way down I'll see some light lines. I just pull the mask back down to its original position and all is well. There is enough room for me to open my eye lids without any problem. I have also learned a little trick to 'seat' the mask - sometimes when I put it on I'll smile which raises my eyebrows just a tad and then I kind of press the mask to my face - this gives me a good position.

I have not had any problems with the blue light. As far as I know, there are no UV issues with the Trident. I don't think there has been a customer complaint or claim concerning the blue light and the blue light frequency falls just outside the UV light range so there shouldn't be any problems. However, the blue light is very bright so you really need to close my eyes or use the eye shields when the trident is pointed towards your eyes. I don't use the eye shields, I just avoid looking at it and since it is against my skin when using it it's not an issue.

I think it will be uncomfortable sleeping facing down since the mask will probably shift. The material is soft around the eyes.

I didn't have a problem with this. But you need to make sure you don't fasten your mask too tight - a common mistake.

I think I know what you mean. I've had the light move up on me. What I do is point it all the way down then pull back up to where I want it. It more or less stays in place after that barring any severe bumps.

Neither can I, they are very similar. One suggestion, I had to cover part of the sensor. In the middle of the night, even if I moved my arm, the light would come on for the full minute. Not a good situation.

This mask does help with keeping light from getting in but it has to sleep aid in it. If you have trouble sleeping due to having too much light coming from area in your home or hotel. This is an awesome product.

The mask fits snugly across the bridge of the nose and for me no light disturbs my sleep. Depends on the height of the nose bridge I guess. Really for me it is good value. jenny

When I first put on the mask, I could see a sliver of light entering from my right nostril, but I adjusted the mask and I was in complete darkness. The material seems to adhere closely to the skin because it's that sponge-y, polypropylene-type material. When I get home, I'll check the tag to tell you exactly what it is. When I first tried it on, I was worried it would make me sweat around the eyes, because it fit so closely to the skin, but that has not been the case. My face stays comfortably cool.

i put the anti fog solution on my mask and i can see that being a problem. if you wear prescription glasses get prescription lenses in your mask. mine are all i need to see pretty well. if you dont i would have to say its a 15 dollar gamble.

Hello, Of course the light is not AS visible as when not in the case but that hasn't been a problem as I've got notification ringtone so don't need the light. No the case doesn't have anything to do with the functioning of your phone as in sleep/wake. I do love it very much as it surrounds the phone and gives better protection!! Like a wallet in your pocket as apposed to an exposed phone. Thanks for asking Donna

My basic answer is how deeply do you sleep? The light is more of a soft "glow" than a "light" (and it's on the highest setting). I put the Wake-Up Light on the floor last night and only the side of the bedroom not blocked by furniture was lighter (makes sense).

I am using this light to help with a severe sleep disorder. The doctor I am working with is a sleep specialist with a psychiatry background. She tell me that you do not have to look directly into the light . It can be placed somewhat to the side and be no more than 12" to 18" away, but it needs enter the eyes to be effective. I started out with 30 minutes of exposure. Because I am not responding to resetting my circadian rhythm, the doctor has increased time to 45 minutes to an hour. Depending on your particular reason for using this device, i would start gradually with 15 minute sessions and see how you respond, then increase the time until good effect. Good luck to you.

I wear mine primarily at night with no problems. The product adjusts to give a comfortable fit. I am very happy with this product.

I have a small nose and the nosepiece acted like a window for light. The mask was completely ineffective at blocking light for me. However, I had no problem returning it. Little noses, this may not be for you.

Not sure I understand the question, but I am using the sleep mask to block light not to facilitate anything from the cpap perspective. If you having a issue with cpap air leak, try Rmzzzz 's. They are the best thing I've come across in more than 10 years of using a cpap.
