It’s easy to miss these silent irritants unless you know what to look for. 1. Dry Eyes at Night: The Hidden Culprit One of the most common causes is nocturnal dry eye . Even if your eyes feel fine during the day, your tear film can break down during sleep, especially if: You sleep with your eyes slightly open (a condition called lagophthalmos )...
