Why Do Our Eyes Twitch?

Have you ever felt a tiny drum beating inside your eyelid? That is your eye twitching! It happens when the small muscles around your eye get a little confused and start contracting on their own. Imagine your eye muscle is like a rubber band that got stretched too tight or forgot to relax.

Usually, it is because you are tired or have had too much soda. The signals in your brain get a bit noisy, telling the muscle to squeeze when it should stay still. It is not scary at all! Your body just needs a little break.

Try drinking some water and sleeping early. If the tiny drum keeps beating, give your eyes a rest from screens. Most of the time, the twitch goes away on its own after you feel better.
