Here's what I have found helpful. Buy a sleep mask. Most drugstores, pharmacies have them. But buy a black one - not a pink, light blue or white.
The purpose is to have it dark in the room so that in the morning it is still "dark" when you wear a black sleep mask. They are only around $5.00 (some might be less) But you have to kind of try a few different ones as some are more comfortable then others.
Some are adjustable and some just have an elastic type band that you put over your head to cover your eyes. The adjustable ones you just pull on the adjustable strap on the back, until you feel comfortable with the fit - not too tight or too loose. Takes a little getting used to of course but once you are used to it - you won't want to be without a sleep mask!

Some come with ear plugs but I just buy where they sell just the sleep mask by itself. Hand washable or spot cleaning is best.
Some might cost more then $5.00 depending on the store - but average price is about $5.00.
