A British scientist has proved through two different experiments that sleeping with a mask covering the eyes at night has mental benefits and the next day you wake up stronger.   Although the number of participants in the research is small, the statistical significance of this study is in its place. The reason for this is that even a little light in the bedroom can affect the brain and by stopping it, not only can you stay alert the next day, but it can also improve memory.   British scientists have tested it in two important experiments, but it has confirmed the research of Italian and American scientists who have previously said that stopping all kinds of light during sleep or complete darkness in the room can have mental benefits, the results of which are immediately revealed the next day.   In a report published in the journal Sleep, Viviana Greco of Cardiff University, and her colleagues said, "Light light on the sides during sleep can affect sleep...
