It looks like there is this secret society working hard on making people suffer in a hotel rooms after long trips. Blue TV indicators, white and blue air condition panels, impossible to cover LEDs that are attached to fire detectors.

All of that to make sure the room stays as bright as possible the whole night. I am always impressed with the efficiency of these little, bright, things. In terms of a brightness per cubic meter efficiency.

I've started travelling with a roll of black tape because the problem you describe is so bad

First thing I do is unplug the tv. Been woken too many times by TVs turning themselves on during the night.

For me it's the alarm clocks or in-room tablets. So much annoying ambient lights in hotels. It's gotten crazy.

I just travel with a mulberry silk eye mask. Seems to do the trick.

Since you went into such specifics (could have just sad eye mask/sleeping mask), why the specific mention of mulberry silk?

[knodi123]

I would imagine because if they just said "eye mask", someone might imagine negative aspects that don't apply to a more luxurious/premium material like mulberry silk.

I personally find it easier to sleep when my pillow is cool. Silk feels cool to touch. I'd image that it would help. Not sure if it being mulberry makes any difference.

[xvector]

I find non-mulberry-silk ones quite bothersome texture wise, as opposed to pleasant.

What about a silk eye mask? I sleep with them at home even

It seems like it should be a no-brainer that if the light can cast shadows, it's too bright to install in a bedroom. I've started traveling with a roll of electrical tape.

A dollop of toothpaste will usually solve the problem if you've ever forgotten the tape.
