夕方に急なにわか雨は「夕立」と呼ばれるなら、なぜ朝ににわか雨は「朝立ち」と呼ばれないの? ^^If a sudden rain shower in the evening is referred to as an 'evening stand', then why isn't a shower in the morning called 'morning stand'?

I know for me at times I'd wear those eye masks they have for sleeping as I'd get migraines and nothing else would stop the light from killing my eyes.

My teachers always tell me inappropriate things. Oddly inappropriate. I had a substitute for a week one time who told me I should do something sexual. Lol I didn't know what to say and the next day I asked her would she be my GodMother. She was awesome."Turn, and look in the mirror. What do you see?" Her own brown eyes stared back at her until she was nothing but a blur.
"I see you. Red lipstick spread perfectly over your lush mouth, brown eyes that hold centuries upon centuries of secrets. A face made to entice even the most celibate of men and women alike. A red dress that sways and moves with your body, making you a temptation like no other."

Originally posted by anubisa View PostThanks for the advice monsno. I have been trying to find those eye masks and can't seem to find them. Hopefully I will be able to find one soon.
If you have a child-sized head like I do though, you will struggle to find one that fits. I had to stuff the gaps around the nose with folded cotton pads (although this also protected the mask from my face cream keeping it clean for longer), and because the velcro was far too wide I just had to tie the straps in a bow. Eventually, they were starting to damage my ears where the straps rubbed. I'm not sure if this would happen if you are adult sized though.
My favourite black out mask at the moment is the plemo memory foam mask. Compared to the other style, I do feel that a small amount of light comes in through the fabric, but it isn't enough to interfere with my sleep and by scrunching the mask after I put it on, I can usually prevent this. It molds to any face shape and the velcro reaches right along the straps so it fits me perfectly! The straps are padded over the ears too, so no more sore ears for me!
The only other downside is that while it also doesn't press on your eyes like the other style masks, you can feel you're wearing a mask. It's comfortable, but it's definitely a big squishy thing on your face.
Both style of mask are good enough that I can sleep on the sofa bed in the living room next to a large glass door to the back yard. There are no black out measures in there and at midday the sun blasts through that glass door.
I hope you find something that works for you. I know how frustrating it is when your sleep is disturbed by the blasted day star! One thing I will say though, is that depending on how sensitive you are to light, black out blinds and curtains might not help as much as you imagine. I use them, and light creeps in around the sides, bottom and over the curtain rail. That might be enough just to stop you from being woken when you're already asleep, but in my case it's enough to give the game away and let my brain know it's daytime.

Well, some cops were killed in BR."Turn, and look in the mirror. What do you see?" Her own brown eyes stared back at her until she was nothing but a blur.
