I agree. Stress and/or fatigue.  I get it too.  It is most annoying and sometimes I don't even feel stressed or tired but my eyelid continues to twitch.  It went away while I was on holidays. It's nice to know I have fellow twitchers!

I have the same problem.  Doctor says it is caused by a lack of potassium, calcium, and not enough hydration.  I started eating a banana just before bedtime, and I make myself drink more water and Gatorade throughout the day, and I am not having those twitchy leg problems at night anymore.

NO, because our eyes are normally closed when we sleep... Blinking occurs naturally and is triggered by our brain when it detects that the the eye needs moisture. Blinking at some point can trigger our tear glands to release liquid to help avoid dryness.\n\nThe phenomenon you see when a sleeping person seem to jitter his eyes when close is called R.E.M. or Rapid Eye Movement. This usually happens when a person is dreaming in his sleep.

I had an eyelid twitch for about 2 months.  I went to the doctor and he said it was stress.  When i changed jobs, and my stress level decreased, the twitch went away.  Hope that helps.

It's probably stress or caffiene. I take multiple vitamins everyday, and I get eye twitches that drive me nuts! My problem was curbed by cutting down on the caffiene and stress a bit.

This can sometimes be caused by eye fatigue or strain. In many cases, too much caffine or other stimulants can have the same result. Try cutting down to one pot of coffee a day, and taking quick 1-2 minute breaks from computer work every 20-30 minutes. There is also a medical condition, called Blepharospasms, that can cause involuntary eye muscle movement or twitching. Blepharospasms can be treated by Botox. Hope this helps!

yeah I agree it's a muscle spasm..coz it happens to me when I get stressed coz I sit all day on the computer...my doctor told me that the eye muscles are very weak..so they get affected easily by stress..just relax them a bit and take vitamins with Zinc

most people call that a muscle spasm.  sometimes it could be a neurological problem, but I know a lot of people who have that at times.  Who knows why?  Maybe you were squinting too much and the muscles are tightening on their own now.

You could be having spasm of the muscles around the eye. You first need to diagnose the cause and treat it if necessary. If there is nothing, try botox

The only thing I can think of is stress.  You probably want to go to a doctor to have it checked out though.  I have a similar problem.  My neck twitches and sometimes my back does too.  Another thing is that they only seem to do it when I think about it.  It's hard not to think about it though.  It's really annoying and I hope you get better from it.  Another thing to think about is that I do have an anxiety disorder so sometimes that makes me stressed out to.  Hope you feel better:)

An eyelid twitch can be caused by fatigue, stress, or even caffeine. They can continue on and off for days and will eventually stop. \n\nRelax, cut the caffeine intake and relax.

Your eyes are getting dry . Because while staring at the monitor and you are not blinking as often as necessary to keep your eye sockets moist . You must remember to blink often or get eye moisturizing drops. \n\nI had that problem , ( not on house arrest ) I did go to my Dr and that's what I was told . My Dr. suggested I take a supplement known as flax- seed oil (gel tablets) because flax-seed helps promotes natural tears . But I also discovered other benefits of this product . Since you are on the computer often ,I suggest  , you investigate this product and other things that would/could improve your quality of life. Good Luck and May GOD bless you

When you have unexpect expence your left eye jump and if unexepcted income your right eye jump (this is for male, for females just vice-a-varsa).\n\nBoth eyes jumping you need a nap.

An eye twitch is usually harmless. Rarely, a twitching eyelid can be a symptom of a muscle or nerve disorder. But in such cases, eyelid twitching is usually accompanied by other symptoms.\n\nThe cause of eye twitch isn't known. But it may be associated with fatigue, stress or caffeine. You may be able to relieve eye twitch by gently massaging the affected eyelid. To do this, move your index finger back and forth from the inner to the outer part of the lid for approximately one minute. Use the same amount of pressure that you use on a computer keyboard. Massage may be more effective if you first use a warm, wet compress on the eyelid for 10 minutes.
