So, I was reading my friend Sara's blog and she mentioned her left eye has been twitching lately. She found out that the reason for this can be stress. Well...like Sara, my left eye has been twitching for about a week now, maybe longer, and I have NO idea why. I'll be sitting in class, driving in the car, doing HW, whatever, and it happens. Anyway, I decided to look up online the causes of a twitching eye, and this is what I found...
1. Stress: reduce it
2. lack of sleep; sleep more
3. caffeine overdose: drink less tea coffee etc
4. potassium deficiency: Eat more foods rich in potassium like bananas.
Funny thing is that I hardly ever feel stressed; Tyler and I usually get about 7 hours of sleep each night (a healthy amount); I rarely drink soda, let along caffeine; but I don't tend to eat bananas all that often (maybe once or twice a week).
Even funnier thing is that this week every single one of those things has been reversed: I've felt stressed (a million things to do before I go into field); I was up until 12:30 twice this week finishing an art project (and got up at 6 am); drank a coke TWICE this week (this may not be a lot to some people but for me it's a TON); and I've eaten a banana almost everyday.
It all makes sense now (except for the banana part). We're going to Idaho this weekend though so I'm hoping it will eliminate stress. I owe all of these findings to Sara!
