i'm not sure if it's bad that i'm spending more time with my eyes blurred. coz i'm tired, and so maybe i'm too lazy to keep them focussed? i found myself doing it when i was doing "menial" tasks at work today. like coz my brain didn't have to concentrate on doing anything, maybe my eyes were doing the same thing? it's bad when i catch myself doing it when i'm driving. it's not like i'm not looking. i'm just not looking hard.
Category: Ummmm.....If you are tired then you need to sleep.
Since relaxation of the eyes is a state that happens when you are unconscious (eg. asleep), it follows that the brain associates these two things (relaxed eyes and sleep).
If that is the case, then perhaps the brain is also shutting down other functions (you may be more asleep than you think), even though you are deliberately relaxing your vision.
Now stop reading this and go and have a snooze!
