Anyone experiencing this or can shed any light on it? mine are driving me nuts, especially at night. I didn't think it was pg related until DH reminded me that the same happened when I was pg with DS.

Could be dry eyes or allergy related? Ask the pharmacist - could try artificial tears (hypromellose).

It could just be an allergy. I get itchy dry eyes due to dust allergies etc, I've had it for quite a while but it seems to have got worse during pregnancy.
I'd try washing your sheets on a 60 degree wash and get some pillow protectors (and new pillows if they're old).
If it doesn't help then u can at least rule out the theory of allergies but it certainly wont do u any harm.
