Thin cucumber slices used as compresses over closed eyes will relieve sore, puffy eyes.
Two moistened caffeine tea bags will work the same way by reducing puffiness because caffeine constricts blood vessels and reduces swelling.
Take a metal spoon and run it under cold water. Place the metal on the puffy area for at least 60 seconds.
A few egg whites, stiffly beaten, and applied with a brush to the face and under the eyes will make the skin feel tighter and look less puffy. Add a drop or two of witch hazel which also reduces swelling and will keep the egg whites from drying to rapidly.
Making sure you are drinking enough water will also reduce eye puffiness. When a person is dehydrated the body starts storing water as a defense system and this will add to puffiness around the eyes.
Contact lenses should be removed before going to bed, to avoid puffiness caused by lens irritation and drying.
Rinse your face in cold water when you wake up or when puffy eyes attack anytime of the day to constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling. This a great energizer.

Are you getting plently of sleep? if you are and yourr still having problems,there are so called "quick fixes" like cucumbers and cooled chamomille teabags, or get one of those eye masks you can put in the fridge. Other than that, there is a cream made by either Revlon or Neutrogena that is supposed to help over time to keep dark circles and puffiness diminish.

Before you go to sleep, do some streches. Also turn off everything that can wake you up. That way you can wake without an alarm clock or the phone ringing
