The Eye-Patch Lets You Send a Message While You Sleep

— August 6, 2009 — Fashion
Eye masks can be a life-saver, especially if you don’t have proper blinds or if you want to take a quick afternoon nap. Unfortunately, sometimes, annoying roommates or family members think that waking you up during your necessary beauty sleep is a funny thing to do.

The Eye-Patch leaves messages for those who want to wake you up with clever lines such as “I’m not sleeping, I’m just thinking” or “wake me up at ____.”

It’s a quirky little way to either fend off the annoying members of your family, or provoke them even more.
