Do some people need more sleep with DES?

[TRiBaL]

Like is there some kind a study that says people with DES needs more sleep for there problem or is that only for some people with DES?

I think it is purely cause and reaction i.e. your eyes are aching and sore which makes them very tired so you lie down and sleep more. This then relieves the symptoms for a while until the cycle starts again.

I agree

I come home from work, try to watch TV (have given up reading almost entirely) and the next thing I know, I've fallen asleep. And that's after just closing my eyes to "rest them" during a commerical.

It's both mentally and physically draining to get through the day with dry eyes.

I definately need more sleep. I use to run on 5 hours with absolutely no problem at all. My live life to the fullest bubbly self however is no longer possible. If i don't get eight hours my eyes are miserable!

sleep seems to be the key i think> maybe some people need more sleep then others to recover ya know.
