Maybe it was because someone else was trying to touch your eyes, I can put eyeliner on etc, myself but if someone else is messing with my eyes I flinch and tighten up my eyes. Maybe?

I'm not allowed to get any yet! I want contacts! But the Dr. say's my eyes are not yet bad enough! What? Seems if I got contacts to settle the distance problem then I would have to have reading glasses to make up for the upclose vision, so either way! glasses!

You can't expect to correct a long term sleep problem in just a handful of days, your body will have to adjust, but still that's better than before by far!

While I have a new pair in right now, I don't really know if I am well-suited for these suckers....

Medicinal drinks aren't the sort of things that you take leisurely sips of though I suppose lol, I'd drink it pretty quickly. Adding honey is a good idea too.
