* Puffiness or swelling with the upper and lower eyelids, generally within the morning. * Occasionally accompanied by itching and/or redness. * Not in a position to open or close the eyes. 1. Common Causes of Puffy Eyes: * Dehydration. When the body gets dehydrated it starts storing up water, which could cause puffy eyes. * Diet. Drinking alcohol or eating salty foods just before going to sleep. Alcohol could cause puffy eyes since it lowers anti-diuretic hormones (ADH) inside the body, but the levels will normalize as well as the puffiness will commonly subside at about the same time your hangover subsides.
