TWO THINGS YOUR BODY ACTUALLY NEEDS

Darkness, and a drop in temperature.

Light is the strongest signal your body clock reads, and your core temperature has to fall before you sleep properly. Most of us hand both over to a lit room and a fabric that traps heat.

The mask is built for those two things and nothing else.

Why Gora

  • Total darkness

    Light is the strongest cue your body clock reads. The contoured seal blocks it from every angle, including the gap at the bridge of the nose that flat masks leave open.

  • Silk that stays cool

    Mulberry silk breathes instead of trapping heat, and glides where cotton drags.

  • Made to be worn nightly

    An adjustable, silk-covered strap that won't dent your hair or interrupt your sleep.
  • Gora Silk Sleep Mask in Midnight — a navy 3D contoured mulberry silk sleep mask on a white background
