Brain Sleep Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Atsushi Hirota; hereinafter "Brain Sleep") will launch the "Brain Sleep Eye Mask Hot + Cool" (hereinafter "eye mask"), which not only blocks light and sound but also features added hot and cold functions that can be used depending on symptoms and conditions, on the Brain Sleep official website starting February 13 (Thursday) at 11:00 AM.This product uses an auto-fit material that conforms to the skin by sensing body temperature and blocks light leaking through gaps around the nose. The eye area has a 3D structure that prevents pressure, and the 360° wrap-around design covers the ears, cutting out noise that interferes with sleep. Additionally, it is treated to be less electrostatic to prevent indoor pollen from adhering, blocking pollen even while sleeping. The gel embedded in the inner layer has a 2-way hot and cold design, which not only alleviates eye fatigue from overuse but also eases symptoms during pollen season, leading to comfortable sleep all year round. Negative impact of light and sound on sleep To improve sleep quality, it is important to control sound and light as much as possible and create a relaxing environment. The "Sleep Guide for Health Promotion 2023" published by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare states that creating a suitable environment is crucial for good sleep※1, and research has also reported that the louder the noise heard during sleep, the shallower the sleep※2. Various environmental sounds, such as car noise and electronic device notifications, which are difficult to avoid in daily life, unconsciously disrupt sleep. Furthermore, it is known that sleeping in a bright environment can increase the time spent in wakefulness during the night※3 and decrease deep sleep (non-REM sleep)※4, thereby lowering sleep quality. To address this, Brain Sleep has developed and will launch the "Brain Sleep Eye Mask Hot + Cool," a functional eye mask specialized for sleep that blocks light and sound and allows users to control warmth and coolness according to their physical condition, as an item to support an ideal sleep environment. ※1 Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare "Sleep Guide for Health Promotion 2023" https://www.mhlw.go.jp/content/001305530.pdf※2 Coppello M, et al.
