Solving Insomnia and Dry Eye Simultaneously with the Habit of Warming Your Eyes Using an Electric Scarf
Sleeping in a sleeping bag at home is the best.
This winter season, I have created the ultimate sleeping environment by using two sleeping bags and putting a down sleeping bag inside.

Why do I go from chronic difficulty falling asleep to falling asleep as fast as Nobita?
For the past few years, I have had such a hard time falling asleep.
I would often toss and turn in bed, unable to fall asleep.
But recently, I fall asleep right after lying down.
That time I used to spend tossing and turning in bed is almost gone now.
Why is that?
The trigger was dry eye treatment.
The main reason is my dry eye treatment.
When my vision became blurry and I went to the ophthalmologist, I was diagnosed with dry eye.
I was prescribed eye drops for dry eye, but when I looked into what else I could do for care, I found out that warming your eyes is good.
Data shows that warming your eyes for 10 minutes provides seven times more relief from dry eye and fatigue than warming them for 3 minutes at 40 degrees Celsius.
Warming your eyes helps you get high-quality sleep, so let's make it a habit to warm our eyes before going to bed at the end of the day.
Easier to fall asleep by taking measures against dry eye
Furthermore, research results show that warming your eyes makes it easier to fall asleep.
The Kao Personal Health Care Institute announced on the 22nd that it has elucidated the physiological mechanism by which warming the area around the eyes makes it easier to fall asleep.
It was found that warming the area around the eyes to an appropriate temperature promotes 'heat dissipation,' where skin temperature in the hands and feet rises and body heat escapes, which is similar to the body's condition when a person falls asleep, potentially having a positive effect on falling asleep.
Warming your eyes before bed with an electric heated scarf
When I wondered if there was a simple way to warm my eyes before going to sleep, I thought of an electric heated scarf.
This has a heating pad (?) in the part that touches the back of the neck, which is how it warms up.
I connect this electric heated scarf to a spare small mobile battery.
The electric heated scarf has three temperature settings, with the lowest being around 45°C.
I lie down in bed, place the scarf over my eyes, and turn it on.
It starts to feel gently warm in about 30 seconds.
This feels so good!
When my eyes feel gently warmed, I get a feeling of warmth spreading all the way to my fingers and toes.
The usability of the mobile battery and electric heated scarf is excellent.
I usually turn off the switch after about 10 minutes and then drift off to sleep comfortably.
Sometimes I fall asleep before I know it. Since the electric heated scarf is just gently placed over my eyes, it slips off my face before I realize it.
Unless you are a very restless sleeper, there is no need to worry about low-temperature burns.
Furthermore, even if you leave it on until morning, a small mobile battery will easily last for over a week.
A two-birds-one-stone habit for dry eye care
Since I started the habit of warming my eyes with an electric scarf before bed, the chronic eye redness, gritty feeling, and eye discomfort I used to have have been significantly reduced.
In particular, eye redness and eye discomfort have improved.
I sleep well and my eyes feel good; the habit of warming my eyes before bed is excellent.
