Why do humans develop deep dark circles under their eyes during chronic stress periods?
I am sleeping eight hours a day but because of intense work stress, the skin directly underneath my eyes looks dark purple and hollow. What vascular change occurs?

Stress triggers a massive production of the hormone cortisol, which increases total blood volume. Because the skin layer directly under human eyes is incredibly thin, congested blood vessels show through.
