Why do i feel more dizzy in the dark or with my eyes closed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Worsening balance: your balance is worse with eyes closed or at night because you removed one of the modalities responsible for maintaining an erect position. Using your peripheral nervous system and inner ear to assess if your upright or not.this provides the sensation of dizziness or lightheadedness.this is a normal situation seen at your age. If the changes are severe, then you need to see your doctor.
