Is it true and medically proven that when we sleep with a wet hair it can cause eyes blindness? Did you experienced sleeping while your hair is wet? Actually me i did...few times. If ever it is, what are the symptoms or signs?

I dont think that sleeping with wet hair results in eye blindness but it is really dangerous in the sense that it can be the reason for never lasting cold. I also take a shower before going to sleep and I do sleep with wet hair, I know it's not good but it has become a habit, bad habit.

All i can logically guess as a result from sleeping with wet hair is that due to cooling you down, it could get you a cold or something, never heard of the eye blindness thing, im guessing its just an urban myth, as i cant see any way how it could make you blind.

Yeah, you have a point with buwald. You know i used not believe with it. But everytime one of family members or friends saw me sleeping with wet wair they freak me out and doubt if to believe it or not. Thats why im thought this curiousity to asked to you.

Blindness???!! No, sleeping with your hair wet can make you catch a cold, but not blinding you...

I dont think its possible to get blind by just sleeping with wet hair atleast not in direct case for the direct consequences one may get flu or cough due to coldness and it is connected with your vein systems to all body and eyes are part of it so it might be possible that one of the vein gets twitched because of the infection that could end up loosing or disturbing the eye sight but it will be an indirect effect not the direct one... :D

I can see no obvious connection between wet hair and eyesight. I have, once or twice, fallen asleep after washing my hair. I hate to do it because it makes my hair dry oddly and I will not look good when I wake up.

hi ciades, hmmm, its not true sleeping with wet hair cannot cause blindness...^_^ its no logic for it, people called it wife's tell or myth same people also say that when we sleep with wet hair it will cause flu. its also another lie. the way to catch flu is tru viral infection... ^_^ and to be blind possible reasons are, (eye diseases, by birth or genetics, staring at the sun, accidents). so dont worry when you sleep with wet hairs, probably you will get a messy hair when you woke up the next day, but it can easily be solved by rewetting your hair again and re-style... hehe
