Dizziness, eye discomfort, and accompanying insomnia may be caused by various factors, such as eye strain from prolonged use of electronic devices, stress, poor sleep environment, or certain health conditions. Below are some recommendations: 1. Rest and relaxation: Ensure adequate rest and relaxation. Prolonged eye use or excessive mental stress may lead to dizziness and eye discomfort. Therefore, taking appropriate breaks, reducing eye strain, and performing eye massages can help alleviate these symptoms. 2. Eye massage: Gently massage the area around the eyes and the temples to promote blood circulation and relieve eye fatigue and discomfort. 3. Adjust sleep schedule: Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day to establish a stable biological clock. 4. Avoid triggers: Reduce the amount of time spent staring at screens such as computers and mobile phones, and avoid overusing your eyes. 5. Medication: If symptoms are severe, medications such as Anshen Bunaoye (a calming and nourishing liquid for the brain) or Oryzanol may be used under a doctor's guidance to assist in improving sleep and relieving dizziness and eye discomfort. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation and treatment.
