I am a student who sleeps late and often gets less than 7 hours of sleep. My eyelids feel heavy in the morning, and I experience minor irritation in my eyes that improves throughout the day after washing. What could be the issue, and what medicine should I consider?
Your heavy eyelids and morning eye irritation are likely due to lack of sleep and mild dryness. Try to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep, wash your eyelids gently in the morning, use lubricating eye drops if needed, and take screen breaks while studying. If irritation gets worse or continues, see an eye doctor.
