Crying a lot just before falling asleep is the worst. You wake up feeling and looking horrible! I'm sorry you cried so much. It usually takes a few hours once you're up for your eyes to return to normal. The swelling is often caused by fluids still in your tear ducts. Drink plenty of water. This will not only help restore the fluids you lost but help those eyes return to normal. You can try splashing your eyes with cool water. This will help flush out the tear ducts. People have mentioned a cool wet washcloth as well. You can use that or cool cucumber slices if you have any (I know not everyone keeps those around, but they feel amazing). If anyone does ask about your eyes, I'd go with the allergy excuse. No one usually questions it when you say your allergies are just acting up.

Yes those are great tips. I have had to use the allergy excuse a few times. If your eyes are real red underneath try using a little concealer.

Well I am sorry you were crying! That's too bad. Sometimes putting a cold washcloth over your eyes can help, otherwise try taking a Tylenol. You could always say you have allergies, and that's why your eyes are a little puffier than usual!
