A member asked:

Does applying a warm rag help with darkness around the eyes? or would a good night's sleep make it disappear better?

Specializes in Family Medicine

Eye Strain: Are you reading too much? Are you not sleeping well. Cool rag can feel refreshing for the eyes if you are working long hours in the computer or reading long hours. Sleep 6-8 hours a day, is helpful not just for the eyes, but for the whole body.

I'm always fatigued. Some mornings, like today, it's so bad I cannot keep my eyes open. It feels like I did not sleep at all even after a good night's sleep. I've had many blood tests but apart from a Vit D deficiency everything is normal?
