What they all said....except I think 12 hours of sleep might be even better to start with (first couple of nights if you can). Found this info:
Restorative theories of sleep describe sleep as a dynamic time of healing and growth for organisms. For example, during stages 3 and 4, or slow-wave sleep, growth hormone levels increase, and changes in immune function occur.
_____________________________________________________
Deep sleep coincides with the release of growth hormone in children and young adults. Many of the body's cells also show increased production and reduced breakdown of proteins during deep sleep. Since proteins are the building blocks needed for cell growth and for repair of damage from factors like stress and ultraviolet rays, deep sleep may truly be "beauty sleep." Activity in parts of the brain that control emotions, decision-making processes, and social interactions is drastically reduced during deep sleep, suggesting that this type of sleep may help people maintain optimal emotional and social functioning while they are awake. A study in rats also showed that certain nerve-signaling patterns which the rats generated during the day were repeated during deep sleep. This pattern repetition may help encode memories and improve learning.
Sleep appears necessary for our nervous systems to work properly. Too little sleep leaves us drowsy and unable to concentrate the next day. It also leads to impaired memory and physical performance and reduced ability to carry out math calculations. If sleep deprivation continues, hallucinations and mood swings may develop. Some experts believe sleep gives neurons used while we are awake a chance to shut down and repair themselves. Without sleep, neurons may become so depleted in energy or so polluted with byproducts of normal cellular activities that they begin to malfunction. Sleep also may give the brain a chance to exercise important neuronal connections that might otherwise deteriorate from lack of activity.

The dark skin around your eyes are either lack of sleep or allergies( my nephew and husbands gets really dark when their allergies act up) go see a doctor for sleep aids or allergy relief. And tell other people that although you appreciate their concern it is very offensive.
Also some dark skinned natives have natural dark skin around their eyes.

lots of water, for starters then get some minerals in your system
Try a vitamin/mineral supplement called building blocks you can order it on line for about 17 dollars for a 30 day supplie... you can also find it at GNC for about 37 dollars.
Avon has a great treatment for under eye circles that is fairly cheap and works well.
You can also try anew alternative it is a good product too.

Get more sleep and drink plenty of water. Regular water consumption is supposed to help with dark undereye circles.

Maybe you can't help your eyes. Maybe with surgery. Dark skin? Are you getting enough rest?

More sleep. You need at least 8 hours. 10 hours is generally how long I sleep for.
