Dark eyes seem more obvious when i don't sleep much, understandably. however, tsh is currently 5.4 - is it b/c of thyroid? or age related? turned 37

Dark circles: Can result from multiple causes, some are genetic, some are related to chronic nasal congestion. If you have allergies, controlling your congestion will clear the dark circles. Your level of TSH is not significantly high and it does not cause such symptoms.
