Patrick, Indeed there is a benefit but there is the possibility for long term impact to your hormonal system. The sight of light + the actual effect of light touching the skin will inhibit melatonin release. A super dark room is healthier. A good book: https://amzn.to/2lyv0Zn

Patrick, in one empirical study in which a test subject sleeping in a completely dark room had a very small light the size of a pencil point aimed at their skin saw a significant reduction in melatonin levels. Thus the long term impact of a mask in a <dark room is quite profound.
