I think I'm posting this for laughs, by the way...
Every day at about 2PM, I find that I *need* a nap. I absolutely cannot manage to keep my eyes open, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with my sleep at night. So, at about 2PM, I put on my sleep mask, settle onto the sofa -- with or without a cat -- and nap.
And wake up with blurred vision that lasts a couple of hours.
Yesterday, though, something occurred to me: I think I've been sleeping with my eyes open, and the sleep mask is irritating them!
I know, I know, you don't have to tell me. Sleeping with my eyes open is just plain weird. I know I used to do it, because my mother would tell me about it, wonderingly, as one of those weird and funny things about me. No one has mentioned it in years, so I guess I'd either forgotten about it or just assumed that I didn't do it anymore. If I am still doing it, though, that would certainly explain the irritated eyes and blurred vision...
On the other hand, I didn't notice this happening until after starting Lamictal...
