A Feeling
Lately, I look tired
Why it gets to you
'Looking tired' is a bodily sign in the eye area, skin, and expression — and at the same time a matter of self-consciousness, of catching it yourself. Sleep debt surfaces as dark circles, puffiness, and dull skin, and a lowered mouth corner or posture strengthens the impression. Your face looking tired even after a good night's sleep is because the cause is not sleep alone.
Who tends to feel this
Men who want to deny 'You look tired?' but find it hits the mark. Common among those for whom the evening mirror looks heavy.
Small pains in everyday life
Even after sleeping well, only your face is tired
You mind the area under your eyes more than others do
Asked 'Are you tired?', you want to deny it but it's true
By evening, the self in the mirror looks heavy
