Pink eye, drops, sleeping
I got eye drops for pink eye. I have to put them in every 4 hours while I’m awake, they said I don’t have to while I’m sleeping, but can I still set an alarm to wake up and put them in and go back to sleep?

Usually when the problem is more then we advice oint for night. Since it has not been advised hence you need not to worry about night.

Hi,
Is there any particular reason why you want to do so when you have not been advised.
Moreover, it would be good for your eyes also if you take uninterrupted sleep in this condition to relax yourself.
