Several years ago, when the hypnopompic hallucinations seemed to ramp up, I began trying a darkening eye mask. The thinking was that the hallucinations seem to build upon visible objects (often LED lights) in the room. At first I thought this helped. Now, I am not sure, because it seems like I will take the mask off because I "know" there are differences in the room that I need to look at. I use the mask, though, because I often sleep in daylight hours.
I should also mention that I am a very light sleeper. I use a white noise machine (an actual motorized fan) and put a pillow over my ear to try to deaden external sounds (such as dogs barking).
