Sleep & fatigue related dark under eye circles

Fatigue and general lack of sleep is probably the most common suggested cause of dark bags underneath your eyes, and this common suggestion implies an easy and overnight solution of just getting a longer or more restful sleep. Unfortunately, not only is this common diagnoses an incorrect one in many cases, but for most it is not as simple as just getting more rest.

Sleep disorders and insomnia related problems are incredibly widespread these days, effecting as much as 25% of the population, and when you combine this growing trend with lifestyle changes and more demanding and tolling factors of our society these days, the effects on our bodies and this cause of dark circles is growing quite rapidly.

3. Check your mattress and pillow! Although obvious, many people overlook their zZz equipment, and old, beaten down and uncomfortable beds and pillows is the foundation for a good day tomorrow. Ask yourself, is my pillow and mattress doing its job correctly? Or should I finally replace this stuff that my grandparents would even laugh at.
