what do your eyes do when you sleep?
Your eyes roll slowly,
opening and closing during stage 1 of sleep, when in deep sleep during stages
2-4 your eyes are still. There’s a stage of our sleep cycle called rapid eye
movement (REM). During REM sleep, our eyeballs move rapidly behind our eyelids
and our bodies become more still. It’s during this stage that we dream. It’s
not known why our eyes move so much during this stage, but some believe it
could be because we’re watching the scenes in our dreams.
When you don’t get
enough sleep, your eyes can feel strained, dry and itch
y the next day. Lack of
sleep can cause eye strain, burst blood vessels and dry eye.
Our eyes go through a
lot during the day. After spending so many hours using your eyes, it's
important for them to get enough recovery time when you're asleep. Getting
enough sleep will give your eyes moisture throughout the night so that they can
function properly when you wake up.
