It sounds like you know you need sleep, but why no sleeping, David? E-mail me, tell me what's up. Yes, I read through your Q&A: "How can I force myself out of my slumber during a dream?"

1. Apply Vitamin E to the area under your eye. You could open up a   \n   Vitamin E capsule, and apply a little oil. Swallow the rest of the oil.    \n   This not only helps you get rid of dark circles, but also reduces   \n   puffiness around the eyes. In addition, regular application of  \n   Vitamin E delays the onset of wrinkles. \n\n2. Apply creams that contain Vitamin C. \n\n3. Swallow a capsule of cod liver oil everyday. It strengthens eyes. \n\n4. Take a teaspoon of tomato juice, a few drops of lemon juice, a \n    pinch of turmeric powder and a little flour, enough to make a paste. \n    Apply this paste to the under-eye area, and wash off after fifteen \n    minutes. \n\n5. Drink at least ten glasses of water everyday. There is no stressing  \n    this enough. If you do not drink at least eight glasses of water \n    everyday, you are not providing your body with as much water as it \n    requires for flushing out toxins. Do not wait until you are thirsty \n    before drinking up. By the time your body cries ‘I’m thirsty!’, you \n    are already severely dehydrated. \n\n6. Avoid stepping out in the sun, especially between noon to four, \n    when the sun is at its strongest. Wear sunglasses to protect your \n    eyes, and the delicate skin around it, from the harmful effects of UV \n    radiation. \n\n7. Apply a cold, used tea bag to your eyes. You could also applied \n    used, cold, herbal tea leaves to your eyes, to sooth them. \n\n8. Apply a concealer to the area under your eyes, to hide dark circles. \n    Use a colour that is every so slightly lighter than the shade of your \n    skin. Apply the concealer gently; do not stretch or pull the skin \n    from this delicate area. \n\n9. Lie down, close your eyes and apply cucumber or potato slices to \n    your lids. Leave on for ten minutes and remove. Wash the area with \n    cold water. This soothes tired eyes instantly, and helps boost blood \n    circulation in the under-eye area. \n\n10. Try out dark circle remover creams available in the market. Make   \n      sure they are of a recognized brand before applying them to your \n      face.

No, it's probably either allergies or dry eye syndrome. Try over the counter eyedrops, if that doesn't work, see an opthamologist.

There really aren't any.  It just has to go away.  To cut down on irritation, you should apply a warm washcloth regularly to the eye.

avoid naps by eating apples to keep you awake.  excercise 3-4 hours before "bedtime".  drink water to avoid dehydration but don't drink so much that you have to go to the bathroom.  darkness helps soothe your eyes so does lulling noises like fans.  music may help you, and it may not.  hav a comfortable pillow and blankets.  find a cofortable position.  maybe fetal, on side, on back, legs crossing...\n\nAnyway, hav a good one

Shift your eyes around real fast. Can easily do this by playing tennis. Get near heat source (light bulb) to where your eyes feel warm. Move them around and try to relieve any pressure. Try to fell the eye adjusting.\n\nThat's it, save yourself 100$. I've heard it's worked for some people, so I won't call it a scam.

Hmmmm that is an interesting conundrum indeed...I would suggest maybe trying a toothpick between the two eyelids...or maybe a strong bonding solvent like super glue (of course then your eye is going to be open all the time and it would always get dried out and freak people out), or maybe you could staple your eyelids open nightly, lastly the only other thing I can think of is having snaps surgically implanted into the eyelids and skin so you can snap your eye open every night....

rub your eyes (like you do when you are tired or just wake up) until they are a little red, then use a dab of Vicks vapor rub below the eye. (NOT in your eye, but below)

Sleep, excercise, less sugar/caffeine.  Also, avoid all non-medication drugs as well as alcohol.  You can try some gentle skin moisturizers, just be careful not to get it in your eyes.  \nI do know that some people (like me) have naturally thin skin under thier eyes, and the veins show more than on most people, but if you keep up these habits, it really does help.

You need to drink at least 8 glasses of water ever day.Also good sleep with some soothing music will help you.Use cucumber slices over your eyes which will be very soothing for your eyes and remove the black marks.

It's actually caused by tiny blood vessels.  The skin under the eye is so thin it shows through.  There are over the counter cosmetic creams that can get rid of under eye circles.  Some people say putting slices of cucumbers on your closed eyes for a few minutes works too.  I haven't ever tried that, though.  You can also try getting more sleep.
