Blinking is like giving your eyes a quick hug. Every time you blink, your eyelids help keep your eyes wet and happy. If you don’t blink enough, your eyes might feel dry or tired. Think of it like taking small breaks during a long game, your eyes need rest too!
Why Do We Blink?
Blinking is automatic because your brain wants to make sure your eyes are always comfortable. When your eyes get dry from looking at something for too long, like a screen or a book, your brain tells you to blink so they can stay wet and happy.
How Often Do We Blink?
You blink about 15 to 20 times every minute, so that’s around 2,400 blinks in an hour! If you blink that many times every day, it's no wonder your eyes feel refreshed.
