In general, a good amount of sleep keeps your body functioning properly. It helps in repairing and relaxing your body, important in cleaning out cerebrospinal fluid, necessary for synthesizing important nutrients, and is a very important factor in the production and regulation of natural hormones.
The bare minimum hours of sleep are 5 hours to keep your eyes healthy and moist. 6-8 hours is what is recommended for optimum eye recuperation. Direct effect of not getting enough sleep is the buildup of black rings around the eyes. Some may also experience dryness and irritation mainly because the eyes failed to build up the moisture it needs while we sleep. If the eyes experience immense stress and do not get enough rest afterwards, blood vessels may pops and leave the eyes looking bloodshot. It is also possible to experience twitching; while this in itself is not a big cause of concern to go to an eyeglass shop in the Philippines, it could potentially be uncomfortable and could last for a couple of days up to weeks.
Indirectly, sleep might still affect eyesight by making your body more prone to diseases like diabetes. Like we previously mentions, sleeping is important for your body to regulate hormones. It was observed that sleep deprived mice had elevated blood glucose and liver triglyceride levels which stops them from processing insulin correctly; this same phenomenon is suspected to be a risk factor in type II diabetes in humans. Diabetes is a debilitating disease that hosts may problems for the eyes like blurred vision, cataracts, and glaucoma. While you can visit an eyeglasses shop in the Philippines to correct blurred vision, you will need to see an eye specialist, or maybe even a surgeon to address cataracts and glaucoma.
If you want to sleep better, one method is to make sure that you always stay away from your phone and as much artificial light sources as you can 1 hour before you sleep. Not only does blue light strain your eyes, it also signals the rest of your body to be in “wake up mode”.
