Studies in totally blind humans demonstrated that light exposure can suppress melatonin production and phase shift its circadian rhythm. These studies in human and non-human animals suggest a functional separation between image-forming and non-image-forming photoreceptors. So eye mask may not help. As long as you sleep well even with lights, don't bother
