Try sliced cool cucumbers placed on your eyes. Leave them on for a few minutes.

There are options for treating puffiness. Beauty Rx:
1. Limit your intake of alcohol and salty foods and drink plenty of water. Proper hydration is key to helping your body and skin look and feel their best.
2. Apply a cool compress. Sit for several minutes with chilled slices of cucumbers or tea bags, wet cotton balls or a cold washcloth over closed eyes. The cold helps constrict blood vessels, decreasing swelling.
3. Try a home eye treatment. Look for products with caffeine, yeast and/or cucumber to decrease swelling. Check out Murad Moisture Silk Eye Gel with caffeine ($40; murad.com) or Origins No Puffery Cooling Mask with yeast extracts ($20; origins.com).

I see the other ideas, but sleep is the best plan! Make time for more in your life. You won't know how lousy you feel now until you're completely rested.
Good luck!

Sliced potatoes actually works better than cucumber, in my experience. It reduces puffing and discoloration.
