Not a morning person...

gwen80

I can't say I've ever been a morning person, but I don't recall getting up being as painful as it is these days. My eyes are usually very sore and often appear red if I look in the mirror and I struggle to focus properly before about 9.30am. Now I'm starting to wonder if I'm not a morning person because my eyes won't cooperate... Does anybody else have this problem?

Add a bit more water to the Gin the night before.

If only...I hardly drink...maybe that's the answer?!

I'm not a morning person either, I've been late for work for 20 years!

I also envy people who wake up feeling refreshed. Have you mentioned the problem with your eyes to the optician? It might be worth checking with them.

I'm not a morning person. I've done jobs that have required me to be up at 5am and it was like torture. I just cannot function before the day is in double figures and have the sore eyes and nausea if I have to be up early. My best hours are between about 6pm and 10pm.

This sounds familiar! The same here...

If the problem is specifically with your eyes, you haven't added anything to your bedroom you might be allergic to? Feather pillows or duvet? A plant? Is the bedroom dusty (sorry not meaning to say you are a mucky pup lol!) I'm allergic to the tree outside our bedroom window and that's unpleasant at certain times of the year. I get it more in my nose than my eyes but a colleague gets hay fever mostly around her eyes so it is a possibility.

If it didn't used to happen and now it does I'd be looking at environmental factors first.

I don't think I've ever woken up feeling refreshed, and I'm usually most awake at about 5/6pm. It takes me a while to wake up properly, my alarm went off at 7:15 this morning and I'm still feeling tired and half asleep.

I've never been one for early mornings.

Not sure of your age, so forgive me if you're too young, but dry/ watery eyes are one of the side effects of the Menopause.

I agree with belfastgirl that it sounds like an allergic reaction to something.
When my eyes are sore I wash them with aqueous cream, which normally helps.
