I was wondering if anyone has ever had this problem, or knows any tips for overcoming it. Ninety percent of the time the area directly underneath my eyes is dark and a little swollen. The part I don't understand is that sometimes it seems to be even worse when I get more sleep (on average I sleep about 6 hours a night). I've talked to my doctor about it before and path ended at a conclusion that I didn't really like. I did a sleep study and didn't really feel comfortable in the environment and didn't feel like I slept real well. Regardless, they told me that I have restless leg syndrome, and my doctor wanted to put me on sleeping pills which can she admitted are addictive.
I guess also I'm looking for more information on the subject. If I were to find a way that helps the quality of my sleep, how soon would I be able to see the benefits and notice the dark rings disappearing? Any advice is very appreciated.
