Thirsty eyes
I use to keep a glass of water near my bed in case I got thirsty during the night. When I spoke to my doctor about my puffy eyes, he mentioned that drinking too many fluids before bedtime contribute to puffy eyes. Reduce your fluid intake before bed. If you're like me and get thirsty at night moderate your intake to small sips.
