a support member attached to opposite sides of the sleep mask that substantially wraps around a user's head to hold the sleep mask system in place against a user's face.
2 . The mask system of claim 1 , wherein the back of the sleep mask has a level of padding containing the eye cavities, the padding having a thickness that is sufficient to accommodate a depth of the eye cavities that is sufficient to allow the user's eyes to fully open and blink without irritation.
