The Connection Between Sleep and Healthy Vision

2/1/2022

10 Comments

 
Picture
We know that poor sleep can affect several areas of our life. Lack of sleep or poor-quality sleep can affect your memory, mood, weight, and immune system. It can also potentially affect your eyes in multiple ways. Below we look at how sleep may affect vision and what you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. 

How does sleep affect the eyes? 

When we sleep, our bodies recharge and heal. Not getting enough sleep can affect how well your eyes heal from the everyday effects of eye strain and environmental factors, such as dry air, allergens, and pollutants. For example, some studies show an increased risk of developing dry eyes in people that do not get adequate rest. 

A study in the journal The Ocular Surface involved 71,761 adults from ages 19 to 94. The participants were assessed for dry eyes and also completed a sleep quality index. A total of 8.9 percent of people in the study had dry eyes. Of those, 36.4 percent had poor sleep as compared to 24.8 percent that reported good sleep.

Certain sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, may affect how much oxygen gets to the retina. Sleep apnea involves short pauses in breathing due to airway obstruction. Those brief pauses may cause oxygen levels to drop. Over time, untreated sleep apnea can lead to an increased risk of high blood pressure and a stroke, which also can affect vision. 
​

Eye and vision issues related to poor sleep 

Poor sleep can have various effects on the eyes. Many of the effects are cosmetic and are corrected with a good night’s sleep. For instance, if you are short on sleep, you might notice bloodshot eyes and eye bags. Not getting enough rest may also leave your eyes feeling tired and sensitive to light.

Some people also experience eye twitching when they are sleep-deprived. The reason for increased eye twitching is not clear, but it does appear to be associated with a lack of sleep.

Although many of the eye effects linked to poor sleep are minor, one serious consequence may also occur. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, having sleep apnea is a risk factor for developing glaucoma. Glaucoma involves an eye condition that can lead to damage to the optic nerve and potentially vision loss. The reason sleep apnea is linked to an increased risk of glaucoma is not clear, but it may be due to decreased oxygen levels in the body from apnea. 
​

How much sleep do we need? 

​The amount of sleep a person needs depends on several factors. There is no one size fits all. The amount of sleep you need may depend on your age, health, and how active you are. In general, most experts recommend between seven and nine hours of sleep each night. If you are not getting enough sleep, consider some of the tips below for better sleep. 

Better sleep tips

There are several things you can do to increase the quantity and quality of your sleep, such as the following:

Treat underlying sleep disorders: If you think you have a sleep disorder, such as apnea, talk with your doctor. Treatment, such as CPAP, can reduce your risk of complications.

Develop a schedule: Waking and sleeping at the same time each day helps you develop an internal rhythm and improve the quality of your sleep.

Limit caffeine: Caffeine can interfere with both falling and staying asleep. Limit caffeine several hours before bedtime.

Get regular exercise: Exercise can help improve your overall quality of sleep. Just don’t do a vigorous workout too close to bedtime.

Reduce screen time before bed: Too much screen time before bed stimulates your brain. Turn off the computer, tablet, and cellphone a few hours before hitting the sack.

We hope the tips above help you sleep well and keep your eyes healthy. If you have any questions or concerns, we are happy to help. Also, if you would like to ask whether an appointment with one of our eye doctors would be appropriate at this time, call our office at 508-746-8600.

fix your broken relationship... I met a Powerful Spell caster called Dr Unity, He is Real, Honest and Genuine. After 18 years of marriage my husband left me for another woman. The most painful thing is that I was pregnant with our second baby. I wanted him back. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster called dr unity, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before 11 hours. He cast the spell and surprisingly 11 hours later my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again.thanks to dr unity . if you are here and your Lover is turning you down, or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact Dr.Unity for help now..

Special thanks to HACK VANISH, a professional hacker I’ve been hiring for the past 2 years because, I find him to be an outstanding hacker who has aided me in various hacking related issues, ranging from fixing my poor FICO credit score of about 437 TransUnion, 462 Equifax to 802 plus excellent score, tracking my cheating husband’s phone and currently has helped me recover my lost crypto funds from an online scam investment I recently ventured into, I must confess he is the best, quite brilliant, ever since I discovered him through a positive review I saw on Wallet Hub and reached out to him via Email: HACKVANISH @ GMAIL. COM, and Phone: +1(747) 293-8514, to which he responded in less than 10mins, I have never regretted working with him, he’s been quite helpful and highly efficient. I Would recommend his services to anyone without hesitation.
