Hey, but a tired zombie needs watering and bloodshot eyes!

But now you put it that way.... Yes, if I read longer than my hour or two, I will get watering and bloodshot eyes. And, technically, that is caused by reading. As I always read on my LCD screen at light, it's caused by reading on a LCD screen. But not so much because of the screen, but because of lack of sleep
