You would be amazed at the amount of nasty stuff in your pillow.  Fungal spores, dead mite bodies, and their excrement make up a substantial amount of the weight of most pillows.  get a new pillow see if that helps.  supposedly natural materials make the best pillows but to avoid infestation by nasty substances get a plastic cover for your new pillow and put your pillow cover on over it and wash you bed linens often with a hypo allergenic detergent

Fresh air helps A LOT. If you can't get enough sleep and solve the problem that way, make sure you aren't in a closed in, stale space. Eat something like a piece of fruit or an energy bar. Drink something cold and non-alcoholic. Move around, stretch, take deep breaths.

Sounds like you've been burning the midnight oil a little too much lately. Get at least 8 hours of sleep each night, going to bed at a sensible hour. Eat a balanced diet, with plenty of water. Get outside and get some exercise...shoot hoops, rollerblade, do fun stuff. There are some undereye creams that help reduce the puffiness, but they are only temporary. Check with Avon. Putting a cold compress on your eyes might help them feel better. Take care of yourself. <*)))><

Dark circles under your eyes means that your liver is not functioning well.  Probably not poorly enough to alarm a medical doctor, but enough to make you feel bad and to alert you to get plenty of sleep and extra water.\n\nThe liver repairs at night between 1 and 3 a.m. if you've had enough water to drink during the day.  If you're dehydrated, you'll wake up and have trouble getting back to sleep during that time.\n\nFenugreek and Thyme are good for respiratory ailments.  Headaches can be caused by dehydration or toxicity.  Make sure you have plenty of fiber in your diet.  Zinc is good for congestion and stuffiness.  Try Throat Coat tea or Gypsy Cold Care tea from Traditional Medicinals.\n\nWarm honey and lemon are great, too.  2 T honey, 2 T fresh lemon juice added to about 6 oz. warm water.

I used to get this a lot when I used to regularly stay awake for 70+ hours in a stretch (I had problems and didn't sleep much).  Basically the way that the eyes work involves two main pigments (often called visual yellow and visual purple) which are photosensative (like camera film) and they constantly renew themselves, if you have not slept enough sometimes the production of these visual pigments slows down a bit leading to shapes and specks in th peripheral vision.  \nHave a great day and get more sleep!

Rinse your eyes with water as often as you can.  Try taking a vitamin A supplement - it's a fat based vitamin that your body uses to make the lubricant for your eyes.  If it persists do see an eye doctor.

the black eyes are often a combination of lack of iron and lack of sleep you should take a food supplement containing ginseng which you can buy at most chemists  also if your not sleeping try reading a book and go to bed at 9;30 each night an read till about ten this gives your body a relaxed sense and really works for me if this doesnt work leave a question in my inbox  chl_farrell@yahoo.com

For tired or puffed eyes, place a cotton pad soaked in chilled rose water. Keeping thin slices of cucumber ready in the refrigerator beforehand is ideal. \n\nGrated cucumber, by itself or mixed with carrot juice, can be spread under the eye, to reduce black circles and sagging skin.

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/under-eye-puffiness/AN00664\n\nWhat causes puffy eyes? Is there anything I can do to reduce it?\n\n\nMayo Clinic dermatologist Lawrence Gibson, M.D., and colleagues answer select questions from readers.\nAnswer\nMild puffiness of the skin under your eyes can result from a number of causes, including:\n\nHeredity \nFluid retention such as due to changes in weather or hormone levels \nAllergies or dermatitis, especially if puffiness is accompanied by redness and itching \nUnder-eye puffiness is usually only a temporary cosmetic concern and rarely a sign of a serious underlying medical condition. Some tips for reducing mild under-eye puffiness:\n\nRaise the head of your bed at night. This helps prevent fluids from accumulating around your eyes as you sleep. \nWhile sitting up, apply a cool tap water compress to the skin under your eyes for a few minutes. You can also use chilled cucumber slices, a refrigerated gel mask or chilled, damp tea bags. \nThere is some anecdotal evidence that hemorrhoid cream applied under the eyes can reduce puffiness. But no clinical trials have evaluated its effectiveness for this use. Also, ingredients in hemorrhoid cream may be irritating to the skin around your eyes, resulting in dryness and inflammation.\n\nIf puffiness is severe and persistent or you notice swelling (edema) in other parts of your body, see your doctor. He or she will want to rule out other possible causes of swelling, such as kidney or thyroid problems or a side effect of medications.\n\n_______________________\n\nhttp://www.ageless.co.za/what-causes-puffy-eyes.htm#What%20causes%20puffy%20eyes?\n\nThyroid problems \nPeople suffering from a thyroid problem (also referred to as a goiter) normally have very protruding eyes - if you have any qualms about your thyroid not functioning effectively, or if you have any symptoms of an over - or under active thyroid please check the amount of iodine you consume, and consult your doctor immediately.\n\nAging and nutrition \nAs we age, the fragile skin around our eye start to lose its elasticity, and the lymphatic drainage system, which helps to keep the area voided of excess fluids, loses it proper functioning. \nNutrition can also play a part and although our product will assist in re-vitalizing the collagen and elastin in the skin around the eyes, you do need vitamin C in your body in order for collagen to be formed.\n\nIn the absence of vitamin C, the body cannot produce collagen. The RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of 60 mg of vitamin C per day it will not achieve much, nor will it assist in enhancing and furthering the quality of your skin – this amount is only enough to prevent beriberi (scurvy).\n\nTo assist in collagen formation and re-vitalizing your fragile skin around the eyes - please consider taking an extra vitamin C (ascorbic acid) supplement, after checking with your medical practitioner.\n\nWhen taking a vitamin C supplement, look at one that contains bioflavonoids (vitamin P) as well, as these bioflavonoids boosts the efficacy with which the vitamin will perform its work.\n\nTiredness \nPlain tiredness will add to the problem. Check the amount of hours you sleep and also take note of the amount of hours you work in front of a computer terminal or watch television – both these activities can cause strain.\n\nEyedrops will relieve irritation and a bloodshot look, but will do little to soothe tired eyes.\n\n... crying...

Eye boogers are dried tears.  Tears have a great deal of salt and protein in them (think about how you have to clean contact lenses), so when the water evaporates as you sleep without blinking to clear the tears down your ducts, it leaves behind the salt and protein.

A lot of sleep, if you can't do that, use a cold eye mask in the morning and in the evening. A good eye cream also helps.

you're bored, your in need of water and fresh air and obviously not sleepin well at night. I suggest taking melatonin or valerian root before you go to bed at night, it works for me and i sleep great if neither of those work try some calcium and magnesium tablets with them.

Why do you have this obsession with weird sleep habits? (I just answered another of your questions regarding sleep.) Sleeping with your eyes open would be bad, since your eyes could dry out. As for sleeping standing up, I doubt that would be very good either.
