How do you get rid of the dark circles under the eyes from ack of sleep, short of getting more sleep. I've got pretty bad insomnia and get at best 5 to 6 hours of sleep a night, except o nthe weekends and the circles under my eyes make me look kind of like a crack head haha, just wanna know if i can get rid of em by some means.

Drink more water to clear the toxins and use slices of cucumber as an emergency bag-shrinker! Best wishes from a very baggy-eyed insomniac Shocked

Er ... might be difficult to sleep with them on so yes. Lie on your bed for 20 mins and relax before going out - close your eyes and put the pieces over your eyes. Works a treat!

You can also buy eye cream that helps minimise circles, swelling etc. The more you pay, the better it will work.

Try and rest your eyes and use artificial tears, even if you are not sleeping well.
