Lack of sleep and eyes!

Post Reply New Topic

I notice that when I don't get a lot of sleep that my eyes go from brown to a greeney hazel color? Likewise when I cry my eyes turn from brown to green or flash a light on them.

Any reason why lack of sleep changes color of my eyes? Or is it just my mind playing tricks on me?

Someone else said there eyes brighten when they don't sleep a lot.

What might be happening is that perhaps when you don't get enough sleep, the whites of your eyes may be a little more bloodshot than usual, showing red, and the presence of red tends to make anything even slightly green look MORE green next to red. So, if possibly your brown eyes already do have a greenish tone (and green eyes are actually closely connected to the brown eye gene), you will see the green tone more acutely if the whites of your eyes are redder.

^^ Ooo! Very clever! =)
