Not just a lack of complex vitamin B. Under-eye black loop according to Tabitha Craine dermatologist MD., lack of vitamin K is the common cause of sleepiness in the eyes.

"Vitamin K is responsible for strengthening blood vessels and capillaries, and also increasing healthy circulation and is essential for proper blood clots," explains Craine.
