Dark cycles under my eyes

I have not been sleeping well of late. Now, I noticed some dark cycles under my eyes. Kindly let me know what these mean.

Dark under eye circles are normally the result of lifestyle issues. When we don’t get enough sleep, have a poor diet, or an unhealthy lifestyle, the fat tissue around our eyes changes and our skin becomes thinner.

Although these dark spots generally don’t require medical attention, it’s a message for you that you should be taking better care of yourself. The condition can also be caused by a combination of factors including genetics, aging, and lifestyle choices, which can lead to hyperpigmentation (increased melanin) or the visibility of blood vessels and shadows. 

Aging thins the skin, making veins more prominent, while genetics can determine skin thickness and pigment levels. Lifestyle factors like fatigue, stress, allergies, and dehydration can also contribute by dilating blood vessels or creating shadowing and puffiness.
