Darkroom aid

Greetings to all. Has anyone heard of using those night vision goggles to help "seeing" in the darkroom? I know it may be a foolish question, but I have a really difficult time loading film onto those reels. I've tried metal and plastic reels. It can sometimes take me 10 minutes to load one reel. I thought I would give the goggles a try if they don't fog the film. I know they use an infrared beam to measure the amount of light in a room. Thanks to all for your input.
