It\u2019s likely you\u2019ve experienced the phenomenon of feeling like you can\u2019t possibly keep your tired eyes open for one second longer \u2013 possibly after a long day of living your best life or during every work-related meeting ever (kidding!). But why exactly does it happen?<\/p>\n

Fatigue<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shocker, we know. Eyelids are made up of muscles. And much like our arms become tired after a long day of holding our phones to our faces, eye muscles become fatigued after all the blinking we do and require rest. Dr Kleinsasser, an eye specialist says, \u201cDuring waking hours [our eyelids] are continuously blinking [\u2026] It\u2019s analogous to being on your feet all day.\u201d<\/p>\n
