Is it normal to have puffy eyes every morning?

Every single morning when I wake up, I have super puffy eyes that make me look like a baby rat (yes, go on and laugh). I'm a guy and I have 7 1/2 hours of sleep on average.

Is It Normal?

  • Yes, it is normal. Sometimes it's just down to genetics.

  • I have blemitus or something called that and it's where around my eyes are constantly red and they are puffy all the time

  • I have puffy eyes when I haven't slept enough, or if I've slept on my side and 'squashed' for a lack of a better term, one eye causing it to go puffy. >__<

    ^^ like above poster said, get a hot towel and lie it over your eyes for 5 minutes and the puffiness should go down

  • Really sounds like sinuses, maybe allergies. Also, check that you're getting enough vitamins in your diet. I think vitamin D helps with puffy eyes. Also, your *quality* of sleep may be poor if you're getting enough time, so try turning off the tv or moving your hours earlier (9pm instead of 10pm).

    Use a hot, wet washcloth on the bags in the morning, it helps circulation. Worse comes to worse, some makeup companies sell caffeine rollers & topicals specifically for eye puffiness... No they aren't actual makeup, closer to moisturizers.
