Mona inspired a mission to increase awareness of the importance of sleep for our mental health.
My sister Mona Motwani started Nidra 10 years ago. Mona was a human rights lawyer turned entrepreneur, speaker, performer, and humanitarian. She co-founded Spark, a nonprofit that funds and advocates for grass roots women’s groups all over the world.
In 2008, Mona contracted late-stage Lyme Disease. One of the symptoms of Lyme Disease is insomnia - hence Nidra Goods was founded. Mona created the unique design of the Nidra Goods masks based on her own needs to sleep but with a mask that completely blocks out the light and gives ample room for eyelashes.
Mona ultimately took her own life in 2021, succumbing to her disease and the symptoms that ensued.
I have since taken over the company to keep a piece of my sister around and continue the mission that Mona inspired to promote better mental health through better sleep.
With Gratitude,
Anita

Live For Sleep®
Everyone deserves a good night's sleep.
It's our most restorative state of being. The fact is, only with enough sleep can we be truly physically, emotionally, and psychologically healthy; and why at Nidra, we believe sleep is the most important habit you can form. That’s right, falling asleep is the most important thing you can do for yourself, and the easiest way to achieve it is by simply covering your eyes.
Our Nidra sleep masks are sleep game changers. They are specifically designed to provide an experience, not just a covering. Lashes don't touch. You barely feel the mask at all. You are free to fall deeply into a satisfying slumber. To awaken more the person you are and the one you want more to be.
