A member asked:

My eyes and temple have been on and off twitching, i have been having sleep issues the past few days could that be why?

Twitching in the muscles around the eyes and the temples typically is from too much strain of these muscles due to squinting and clinching your teeth. You tend to squint and clinch your teeth when you are under more stress and also when you are under more stress it is more difficult to sleep. Try to chill and do some light exercise and take some time for yourself.

Typically, these types of movement disorder symptoms are due to orbital myokymia, a benign and self-limited condition associated with stress, lack of sleep, eyestrain, etc. Likely it will resolve once your sleep pattern stabilizes.
