Anyone wearing eye patches or eye masks at night to help with dryness of the eyes? Does it work? Night time is miserable right now 😢

Use Restasis
Humidifier in bedroom
Genteal eye gel drops before lights out (at least 10 minutes after Restasis) and if I wake up during the night
Genteal eye gel upon waking up. I put it in my eyes and then stay in bed with eyes closed for 10 minutes. Gives me a head start on the day.
