Though Toole has a solid morning routine, she is vocal about the importance of good sleep hygiene. This Handmade Cotton Blackout Sleep Mask ($20, originally $25) helps. “One, it’s affordable. Two, blocking out light is really key . . . I moved to a new space, and I love this new space because it’s got so much natural light in it, but I noticed, in my bedroom, if I don’t wear my sleep mask, I’ll wake up at six in the morning no matter what time I go to bed the night before,” she explains.
She also likes the way it feels. “It wraps around my head so it creates, again, that sensation of almost being hugged. It’s very, very comfortable, and it blocks out every ounce of light. It’s actually really helpful, too . . . I’ve had friends anecdotally tell me that they get a lot of headaches, a lot of migraine issues, and it really helps them.”
Pro tip: Toole has curly hair and loves this mask because “it actually helps keep my hair in place . . . the silk ensures it’s not snagging or anything, so you don’t get the breakage if you’re a tosser and turner. It actually is really, really helpful. I put my hair in a very loose little topknot with one of the hair ties that doesn’t pull, and I wake up, and it’s still a good hair day because I actually get a lot of volume.”
