When BOTH of your eyes are dilated, it means you are about to give birth to twins out of your eyes!. Are you at 9cm yet!?
But you knew that because you live in KY!.
But seriously,
It can be the dilation drug itself which has side effects of drowsiness!. Also, they generally stick you in the dark so your eyes are no fighting the dilation by constricting to light!. The darkness induces sleepiness!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I take the most amazing naps when I have my eyes dilated!. I am not sure that the drops themselves make you sleepy!. My doctor I work for does not have this as a side effect listed in his material we have available!. I am wondering if it is the nice cool dark room and the absence of stimulii that make us sleepy becuase we have a chance to relax for a bit!. that is my thought!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It didn't make my four year old sleepy!. She actually got a lot done that day!. She dumped out most of her toys and did a lot of artwork--some on paper, some on walls!. She stayed up until almost 11 giggling with her sister, too!. A very productive day for her!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'm sure it had something to do with who's office you were in! I'm thinking they may have slipped you a "sedative" and dilated your "pupils" with their benis!.
