I wear the kind of contact lenses that you can sleep in, and I never get sleep in my eyes when I wake up. When I take my contacts out once every week and sleep, I wake up with quite a bit of sleep in my eyes. Why does this happen only without contacts?
If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.
Just a WAG, but maybe your eyes become a bit irritated either when you remove the contacts or because the contacts normally provide a protective layer to the outside of the eye, and so more tears are produced when your eyes are nekked.
The same thing happens to me, but I imagine that’s because instead of the time-consuming and inconvenient method of noting how long I’ve had my contacts in (I have the disposable extended-wear type), I take them out only when one eye becomes so inflamed that I have trouble reading or driving.
What the hell does that mean?! You mean eye snot? I never heard it referred to as “sleep” before. Where are you from?
Yes, I suppose I meant “eye snot” (that would be the technical term, wouldn’t it?). I’ve just heard it referred to as “sleep.”
My soon-to-be ex-wife referred to it as “sleep.” Eye Pus was my noun of choice. If that was the only disagreement we had… But I digress.
I wear contacts all the time and have an inordinate amount of the gunk in my eyes when I wake up. When I did not wear contacts, I don’t recall this.
Yer pal,
